Don't count Rooney out

Wayne Rooney is already England's all-time leading scorer and, with 236, has scored so many Manchester United goals that it took MUTV two hours to show them all.

Rooney is only a goal behind Denis Law, the original King of the Stretford End and 13 behind the club's all-time leader Sir Bobby Charlton. The Liverpudlian has scored more United goals than George Best, Jack Rowley, Dennis Viollet and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

But we know about his goals so forget Rooney's scoring feats for a moment; look instead at his appearances.

As he turned 30 on Saturday, Rooney had played 677 games of professional football for Everton, Manchester United and England.
