England greats pay tribute to Rooney following retirement – The World Game
Gary Lineker and Steven Gerrard hailed the career of Wayne Rooney after England’s record goalscorer declared his playing days are over.
Since springing to prominence with a stunning goal as a 16-year-old for Everton against Arsenal in 2002, Rooney has achieved feat after feat in the game.
He retires as the record scorer for both Manchester United and England, having won 120 caps and captained his country, and will focus on his new full-time job as manager of Derby County.
Lineker, third on England’s all-time goalscoring list behind Rooney and Bobby Charlton, said the new Rams boss had enjoyed “a truly wonderful career on the field”.
