Wayne Rooney: England record is 'dream come true'

Part 1

Wayne Rooney said it was a "dream come true" to break Sir Bobby Charlton's England goal- scoring record and still wants to add to his total. The 29-year-old Manchester United striker's penalty in the 2-0 win over Switzerland in a Euro 2016 qualifier took his total to 50 goals. "I've been close to scoring for the last few games and it's a dream come true,” he said.

Rooney, who scored his first England goal against Macedonia in 2003, told BBC: "It's a very special night for me and my family. A night I will never forget. I was very nervous before taking the penalty. I knew it was such a big moment for me and my career. The players said to me

afterwards it was like being at a concert because there were so many flashes from phones in the crowd.”

Part 2

"Nights like this you don't forget," he added. "When you create a bit of history it's a great feeling."

The striker was handed a special England shirt by England coach Roy Hodgson in the dressing room after the match, and made a speech in front of his colleagues. Hodgson praised Rooney's achievement, and said he could possibly reach a total of 65 goals. "You would like to think we are on about 10 games a year - that is at least to 2018," he said. "So you are talking 20, maybe even 30 games, so it could be 10 to 15 goals.”

Part 3

"You can't do much better than be number one in the goal scoring list, but I still want to say a word for Bobby Charlton. He is obviously a legend and one of the finest players I have ever seen and I don't think we will diminish or weaken Bobby's legendary status. With him and Rooney we are talking about two of the finest football players in England and I'm lucky enough to have one still playing and that I can use him."

Hodgson handed Rooney the captaincy in August 2014, and the coach said the striker had repaid his faith in him.

Part 4

"His maturity has impressed me; the way he has accepted the captaincy," he continued.

"I don't think it has surprised me because I gave him the captaincy. I believed in him and trusted him and I'm really pleased with the way he has taken on the extra burden. The other thing that impresses me is his constant passion and enthusiasm in every training session, meetings and in games. He's not thinking 'I've got 50 goals, I'm a legend'. He is still out there working as hard as a young 19-year-old, who is playing his first game in the team.”
