The Daily Mail have published a rather lengthy interview with Theo Walcott’s beau, Melanie Slade. The WAG reveals that the couple met at the Southampton branch of Claire’s Accessories, and that their first date as sixteen year old was a thoroughly romantic screening of Land of the Dead.
She also revealed an excellent method for away fans to irritate the weak-shouldered forward:
We were at a petrol station and when he came out of the shop after paying, his face was like thunder. I said to him, “What happened?” and he said, “They asked me if I was Lewis Hamilton!”
How dare the England manager attempt to keep our good WAGs down. These women didn’t spend weeks and months ironing their hair, painting liquid tan between their toes, and eating just the right amount of sliced carrot and dip for someone to come along and deny them five star treatment. It is their right, and they WILL have their revenge.
As a means of supporting them through this trying time, The Spoiler has assembled a small collection of WAG photography, and put it together as an homage to their kindness and beauty. Amongst them, you will find Clancy, Rives, Cole, Curran, Slade, McLoughlin. That’s right, all the greats.
Southampton’s premier WAG probably doesn’t even know who Noddy Holder is
Back in 2006, seventeen-year-old Melanie Slade was a modest young student who worked a Saturday job at a ‘Claire’s’ shop. On what you would hope is a rare trip to the girl’s accessories emporium, Theo Walcott spotted Mel, and made her WAG royalty on the spot. A few short months later, she was hanging out with Posh Spice at the World Cup, as the youngest member of the England WAG team.
