Well, this is impressive.

Four Arsenal players took part in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for controlling the ball from the greatest height, but only one proved up to the challenge.

Filmed by Betfair, the England and Arsenal attacker lined up alongside Francis Coquelin, Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal as they attempted to break the previous record of 32 metres, set by freestyler John Farnworth earlier this year.

Coquelin came close to beating the record but it was Walcott who managed to control it from 34m and take the record.
