'REMEMBER THE NAME, WAYNE ROONEY!' | THAT GOAL AGAINST ARSENAL

We remembered the name for the next 15 years as he scored 183 goals in 393 games for us. The Man City overhead kick is always pointed out but he was the difference on countless other occasions. Towards the end of his career, plastic fans were saying he's getting old, we should get rid of him, but that season he was the only reason we finished in the top half of the table with his assists and goals. When we had Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez up front, it was the best attacking lineup I have ever seen us have, those three together were unstoppable.

As a 32 year old I was 13-14 as we headed into the 04 euros with this bright prospect. For the first time possibly ever we had a beast of a striker, a one man team who just needed 3 touches from 40 yards out. Everyone knew it. England were set up for a win that year. There were equally fantastic players playing for other nations, but leading into 04, no one really had the devastating force of Rooney. And that's why he was deliberately injured twice in a row. Never was he the same again after that. His style completely changed. So sad we never really got to see what he was fully capable of.
