England under-age appearances

Can't find any mention on the FA website or on Reading's of Walcott having played for the England under-18s, so I've removed it. He has played for the under-16 and under-17s. The search facility on the FA website, which you'd hope might be reliable, suggests that he has 15 games/4 goals for the U17s in 2008 and 2009, and 3 apps/0 goals for the U16s, all in 2008. However, the reference added to the article verifies an U16 appearance in 2007, and he has at least four more in 2008. The U17s apps/goals are quite probably right, but given the U16s figures are demonstrably wrong, I'm not personally prepared to add them to the article without going through the match reports to check. So I've left the national teams section in the infobox empty pending credible RS. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:16, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Under-18s confirmed by Tribal Football, though I'm not sure how reliable that site is. They could well be mistaken or have made a typo. Giant Snowman 15:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's a gossip column that recycles stories from other (mainly tabloid) media sources. Probably wherever they took the story from made the error in the first place. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:44, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying, and thanks for finding sources for the youth international career. It's a shame/surprise that the FA site isn't comprehensive. I remember having a similar issue with Wayne Rooney's youth stats. Giant Snowman 15:48, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
