Your support makes all the difference.Theo Walcott today celebrates 10 years at Arsenal and with it joins an elite club that have spent a decade at the club.
The England international becomes the first player since Dennis Bergkamp to reach the milestone and just the ninth to do so among those who at some point played for the club in the Premier League era.
Walcott, who has turned out over 300 times for the club, marked the occasion with a tweet that read: "Thank you to everyone who has supported me at the club, players, manager and the fans I can't thank you enough."
