Come on, he's a sublime footballer. That record is about as relevant as Henry in cup finals. Rooney has mostly performed on every big stage, from a CL final V Barca to international tournaments. He is woefully past it now though.

In terms of England stars in the last 20 years for England NT I'd go:

1. Rooney
2. Gerrard
3. Terry
4. Cashley
5. Beckham
6. Lampard
