Wayne Rooney: Why He May Never Be Considered England’s Greatest-Ever Player

It was inevitable the moment the game ended. Wayne Rooney’s brace against historic rivals Scotland in their own backyard put him just three goals behind Sir Bobby Charlton’s all-time England goal-scoring record.

Disclaimer: The views expressed here are of a guy who is crazy about Maria Sharapova, although I have tried to be as unbiased and rational as possible. Oh, and I hate Sasha Vujačič!

At Wimbledon...
