WAYNE Rooney’s record-breaking international career was actually pretty shit when it comes down to it, football experts have concluded.
Despite scoring more goals than Bobby Charlton and appearing for his country more times than Bobby Moore, pundits cannot remember anything distinguished Rooney did in the England shirt beyond wiping his nose on its sleeve.
Tom Booker of website Global Soccer said: “Apart from him stamping on the gonads of some Portuguese player back in the 2006 World Cup, I’m racking my brains to think of anything remotely useful he ever did.
“Sure, he scored lots of goals but weren’t most of them against Andorra and San Marino in walkover qualifiers, so they don’t count.
“Face it, you might as well have had Wayne Sleep playing in his position all those years. And he wouldn’t have got sent off as often.
“It is altogether possible that his greatest performance for his country was in his debut in an honourable 1-3 home defeat against soccer giants Australia in 2003, where he scampered about in a promising sort of way.
“After that, however, he tried gallantly but ultimately failed to do anything of any significance whatsoever.”
