RETURNING Theo Walcott has been reunited with the number 32 shirt at Saints for his season-long loan from Everton.
The 31-year-old agreed to return to St Mary’s late on transfer deadline day on Monday, tying up a deal to come back to the club after more than 14 years away.
Walcott, a graduate of the Saints academy, is still the youngest-ever player to score for Saints having made his debut as a 16-year-old.
He wore the number 32 shirt during the 2005-06 campaign before leaving to join Arsenal, where he took the same number in Arsene Wenger’s side.
Walcott would then go on to wear the number 14 at Arsenal, following in the footsteps of Thierry Henry.
He wore 11 at Everton before now being reunited with his first ever senior squad number at Saints.
