Pride of England - signed by Wayne Rooney

Thierry Henry probably expressed the professional opinion of all other top class players when he said of Wayne Rooney, "He is someone who plays with absolutely no fear and when you have a striker like that, then there are no limits. English football is very fortunate to have such a great striker ... I would pay to watch him play." It is this utter fearlessness which has marked Wayne Rooney out for greatness - he has that enviable ability, even at such a young age, to play to the highest standard, no matter how big the occasion.

Such an occasion was the England Croatia match in Lisbon, Portugal, in June 2004, when a win would mean entry into the quarter finals. Croatia scored after just 6 minutes but England were undaunted and an excellent pass from Rooney to Scoles 5 minutes from half-time allowed him to score the equaliser. Then, just on half-time, the favour was returned when Scholes passed to Rooney, who blasted the ball into the back of the net to give England the half-time lead.

After 68 minutes, Owen released Rooney with an excellent pass and Rooney scored from the edge of the penalty area, with just Butina, the goalkeeper, to beat. The final score was a 4-2 victory for England, and Wayne Rooney's burgeoning reputation as a top England striker had been given another major boost.
