Tonight, Wayne Rooney returns to Wembley for one last time as England fans get to thank him for his service in a friendly against USA.
Rooney, 33, will pick up his 120th cap taking him just five appearances away from Peter Shilton’s all-time record.
After making his England debut in 2003 against Australia, Rooney’s career has been a whirlwind filled with ups and downs.
We take a look through his incredible career that has seen him play in four World Cups, three European Championships and scoring 53 goals for his country.
Here are Rooney’s best and worst moments.
First Premier League Goal
Rooney announced himself to the world five days before his 17th birthday by scoring the winner against Arsenal in October 2002.
“Remember the name, WAYNE ROONEY!”
England Debut
In February 2003, after just a handful of Premier League appearances, Rooney made his England debut at Upton Park.
Coming on as a substitute against Australia, he was unable to help England as they lost 3-1 in the friendly.
At 17 years and 111 days, he became the youngest player to ever play for the senior national team.
First England Goal
Seven months later, playing in the European Championships qualifying Rooney scored his first goal for England against Macedonia.
He is still the youngest player to have scored a goal for England (17 years and 317 days).
First Tournament Goal
After impressing in the qualifying campaign, Rooney was named in the squad for Euro 2004, in which some believe was his only good international tournament.
He was named in UEFA’s team of the tournament after scoring four goals in his four appearances.
Move To Man United
After impressing with Everton and England, it was no surprise clubs came knocking and in 2004, he submitted a transfer request and signed for Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United for £26.5 million.
It was the highest fee paid for an under-20 year old at the time, he was given the no.8 shirt.
Man United Debut Hat-Trick
Rooney made his debut against Fenerbahce in the Champions League and made an incredible impact.
He scored an inspired hat-trick and provided an assist as United ran out 6-2 winners.
