England players love their iPods
The nation has its hopes pinned on Arsenal and England star Theo Walcott in next month’s World Cup. In a recent interview Theo said that when he is not training for the World Cup he likes nothing better than chilling out to R n’ B on his iPod.
The striker was recently interviewed by football magazin Four Four Two and he stated his favourite tunes are the evocative beats of groundbreaking New York emcee Nas and the soulful crooning of Usher.
England team mate and Real Madrid ‘galactico’ David Beckham has also been spotted sporting the ubiquitious ‘white buds’ of the iPod earphones.
Meanwhile the Sun has reported that another young England star – Wayne Rooney – is frustrated at not being able to take his iPod into the oxygen chamber which is helping him heal his broken metatarsal.
Rooney, also a hip hop fan, has tackled the problem by setting up speakers around the facility to play his favourite tracks.
Reports say friend and fellow Manchester United and England player Rio Ferdinand has been devising the playlists.
