"How they're scored matters not. Fair play to the man, his record will probably not be beaten in any of our lifetimes."
6 goals in all tournaments is still pretty pants. |

"....for Rooney to do it....
A lot of his goals for England have been penalties tbf, how many of Bobby Charltons were pens? "
On Talksport on the way home they said 5 pens including today's vs 3 for Charlton. I'm surprised thought there was more than that for Rooney? |

What an achievement, totally take my hat off to him. Thought Linekar was going to do it then Owen and wasn't sure I'd see Sir Bobby topped. Hard to believe I saw him as a 14 year old and thought who does he think he is and now he's our nations highest ever goal scorer, wow just wow!
Him. |

Jimmy Greaves would had easily done it years ago...and no one would had caught him...but im afraid at the time Jimmy wasnt gentlemanly enough if thats how i can describe him...his goal to games was far superior to anyone elses  |

I don't understand this. He got injured, lost his place and couldn't get it back.
What am I missing? What was ungentlemanly about it? |

Just be thankful he's even bothered. Superb achievement and he's only going to add to it
Comparing his record to Greaves isn't valid as it's played in a completely different erase where Rooney plays against more organised defences and the game is more tactically astute.
I don't buy the goals in international tournaments argument either as it's been a general England failure, the guy isn't a one man team.
Besides, he's scored against far better opposition in the premier league and champions league than what he'll ever face at international level. |

But england play far more friendlys now than back in the greaves era,44 goals in 57 games for greaves i wonder how many if he had played 107? |

He didnt lose his place...he was actually a piss head...and i've actually held speakers nights with some of the world cup winning squad...Jimmy would had easily scored more goals than any other English player had he comformed |

Hope it does I mean it only took Rooney 12 years to set it so logically it could well happen in the next 12-15 |

More organised defences? San Marinos defence is like a fishnet trying to hold water. |
