Wayne Rooney will make his final England appearance tonight

5. Running Turkey ragged (2003)On his first start for England, a 17-year-old Rooney flourished at the Stadium of Light, with his every touch leaving the crowd on the edge of their seats.The striker was full of confidence, linking superbly with his teammates, before being substituted to a standing ovation after helping his country earn a crucial victory in their bid to qualify for Euro 2004.5

Rooney was excellent against Turkey in 2003

4. Stunner in the Maracana (2013)Inside the iconic stadium, England were outclassed for large periods against Brazil, but it was Rooney who dragged his side to a draw in this glamour friendly.First, he laid the ball on for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to equalise, before a driving run and powerful curling shot found the top corner to give England a lead they would eventually surrender.3. Giving France Les Bleus at the Euros (2004)Quite simply, Rooney was magnificent. Against the reigning European champions, with Zinedine Zidane leading a superstar squad, the Croxteth-born teenager was head and shoulders above them all. Skills, composure, he even won a penalty which was missed by David Beckham, Rooney truly came of age in Lisbon.5

2. Record breaker (2015)While this was not Rooney’s best performance in an England shirt, he still managed to steal the headlines when his penalty against Switzerland meant he broke Sir Bobby’s 45-year record to claim a historic 50th goal.5

1. Double against Croatia (2004)This was Rooney at his peak. When England needed him the most, he delivered. Two goals tell only half the story of Rooney’s impact that night as he led England to a quarter-final showdown with host nation Portugal. When he went off injured in that match, England’s chances of progressing left with him.5
