Former England captain Wayne Rooney turns 40 on Friday.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the ex-Manchester United and Everton striker’s career record as a player and manager.
53 – Goals for England, a national team record until surpassed by Harry Kane (76).
120 – England caps, a record for an outfield player, five short of Peter Shilton’s overall record.
253 – Club-record goal tally for Manchester United.
208 – Goals scored in the Premier League. Only Alan Shearer (260) and Kane (213) have scored more.
16 – Rooney was 16 years and 360 days old when he scored his first Premier League goal, for Everton against Arsenal in October 2002, making him then the youngest goalscorer in the competition’s history.
12 – Major honours won with Manchester United – five Premier League titles, three League Cups, an FA Cup, a Champions League, a Europa League and a FIFA Club World Cup.
4 – Professional clubs represented – Everton, Manchester United, DC United and Derby.
366 – career goals for club and country, in 883 games.
25.3 – Rooney’s win percentage as a manager, with Derby, DC United, Birmingham and Plymouth.
40 – matches in his last two managerial spells combined. He was sacked by Birmingham after less than three months, having won just two games out of 15, then won five out of 25 with Argyle.
