Bobby Charlton presented
Wayne Rooney with a commemorative golden boot ahead of England's qualifier
against Estonia.
Rooney, who surpassed
Charlton’s England record of 49 goals with a strike against
Switzerland last month, was ruled out of the Estonia match with an ankle
injury.
Rooney who now has 50goals
from 107 international caps, he's also the most red carded player for the three
lions sharing that with David Beckham. Rooney is also likely to top United all
time goal scorer in the English premiership as he's on 171goals, 28goals more
for him to equal another Sir Bobby Charlton's record.
However, the Manchester
United star was afforded a warm reception at a far-from-capacity Wembley
Stadium.
The match ended with Walcott
and Sterling on the score sheet, as England made it nine wins out of nine
games. Roy Hodgson's side have already qualified for the tournament in France next
summer.
England round off their
qualifying campaign with a trip to Lithuania on Monday. They then face
friendlies against Spain and France in November and Germany in March of next
year.
