The White Pele lights up Euro 2004 finals in Portugal

Between Pele’s 1958 World Cup’s heroics and Mbappe’s 2018 blaze, there was another international tournament that witnessed a teenage sensation upstage the World’s best footballers.

Rooney was 17, precocious and prodigious. Rooney was out of this World and up until his metatarsal broke against Portugal, he seemed to defy the baggage every English team carries to international tournaments.

He was fearless, bewitching and unstoppable. We did not see that Rooney again on the World’s stage, but boy did we see him light millions of sparks in doting admirers all over the globe.

Admittedly, that was when i (a devout Cricket enthusiast) converted to the football fandom of Wayne Rooney.
