Wayne Rooney, who will be 30 next month, has become the most prolific scorer for England and is credited with 50 goals. At his age, it is certain that he will add more goals to his tally.
The irony is that in all sports it is the goals that are scored that are remembered ! It is not the goals that are not scored because of the valiant acts of the defenders. Who counts them ?
We should not forget idols like Stanley Matthews who dazzled everyone with his dribbles and then sent over inch perfect centres to be knocked into the goal ! How many goals did he create ? He scored few himself .
Alas for Wayne Rooney, his ultimate tally of goals for England will also be passed a short time after his retirement ! Have you noticed that 49 "own goals" have been scored for England over many years by miserable opponents trying to defend their goal ?
They will carry on adding to the total of 49 and long after Wayne Rooney has retired !
