UK Back Pages: Wayne Rooney Hailed as England's All-Time Leading Goalscorer

Sean SwabySep 8, 2015

Wayne Rooney became England's all-time leading scorer Tuesday night, slamming home from the penalty spot late in England's win over Switzerland for his 50th goal in a Three Lions shirt.

The strike moved him past Sir Bobby Charlton on the all-time goalscoring list. It was a long-awaited feat for the England and Manchester United captain.

There was only going to be one man the press was going to write about.
