San Marino vs. England: Place in history books beckons for Rooney

England can qualify for Euro 2016 by beating San Marino, but Wayne Rooney will take all the headlines if he nets a double.

The spotlight will be firmly on Wayne Rooney in Serravalle on Saturday, as he bids to become England's all-time record scorer at a time when his star quality is under close scrutiny.

Rooney sits one behind Bobby Charlton's milestone haul of 49 goals, but his form against this weekend's opponents San Marino suggests he has every chance of making history in the Euro 2016 qualifier, even if he has started the season in slugging fashion.
