EA has confirmed that Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard and Arsenal’s 'rising star' (and right wing striker), Theo Walcott, will join Wayne Rooney on the cover of
FIFA 10 in the UK.
Some cover stats: this is Rooney's fifth year on the front of a
FIFA game, Walcott's a cover virgin while Lampard appeared once before on
2006 FIFA World Cup.
As is the way with these things, they're all pretty 'pleased', 'delighted' and 'honoured' to be gracing the game's box.
“
FIFA is definitely the best football game on the market, and I am delighted to be featured on the cover again”, uttered Manchester United and England striker, Wayne Rooney. “I play the game regularly online and against a lot of the lads at the club and I’m looking forward to the 360 degree control as it will make
FIFA even more realistic than any other football game out there.”
“I’m really pleased to be part of the EA Sports
FIFA franchise. Being on the cover of this great football video game with such a long history is really special for me”, said Lampard.
"To join the likes of Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard on the cover of
FIFA is a huge honour for me", said Walcott. "
FIFA is the game of choice in the Arsenal dressing room so I'll have to keep on top of my game to make sure I’m the best
FIFA 10 player at the club."
