He is still only a baby but is under
a lot of pressure already.When I was
his age I was a regular for
Southampton under Ted Bates in
Division three.
Ted was laying the foundations for
the club's future two years before
our promotion in 1960 but since
Theo, pictured right, was sold he has
not had the chance to develop at the
highest level.

Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager,
made some strange comments
after the Carling Cup semi-final
defeat to Spurs that suggested he
thinks the time is right for Theo to
go out on loan.
If he does, it will be best for him to
go to another Premiership club
rather than drop into the
Championship. Otherwise he may
as well have stayed at St Mary's.
