Wayne Rooney Reaches 50 Goals for England, Ballboy Tries to Get His Shirt

Getting to be a ballboy at Wembley for an England game on the night that Wayne Rooney overtakes Sir Bobby Charlton and own goals to become the country's all-time leading scorer is a special privilege.

One youngster, however, tried to improve upon his special evening by making a beeline for the historic scorer at full-time in search of me

morabilia. Shortly after the whistle, a precocious young ballboy tried to reach the Manchester United striker, presumably to obtain the most wanted garment of the evening. 

Sadly, the youngster was denied his chance of joining Charlie Morgan in the canon of legendary ballboys by a fast-thinking steward, who promptly whisked him away.
