Wayne Rooney is probably one of the most underrated players of all time. The all-time top scorer for England retired this year and the fans were disappointed not to see their hero one last time in what was to be his farewell match.

The Evertonian is a legend of English football and his name will be embedded in the history books forever. Wazza spent the majority of his career at Manchester United, winning trophy after trophy and scoring goals for fun for the Red Devils. Wayne is the all-time top scorer of Manchester United, having scored a commendable 253 goals in a career spanning well over 12 years.

The Football Association did give Wayne Rooney and most importantly his fans, fans of English football something they all wished for and that was a fitting end to Wayne's England career.

53 goals in 120 appearances do suggest that the former English skipper was a one of a kind and glorious end at Wembley was all that was needed to mark an end to a glorious career.

To top it, England did beat USA 3-0 at Wembley as Wayne walked out a winner for the one last time in an England shirt.
