Wayne Rooney Announces Retirement

Rooney has so far scored in both the Premier League matches. He was once again associated with the club who had cleared him as a youngster and after that he joined Manchester United. 

Rooney said in a statement to the press association Sport. I appreciate it very much. “Rooney said, "After considering it for a long time already I told Gareth that I have decided to retire from international football for the best." Rooney said, "It was a tough decision and I did this Talking to his family about his manager and his close friends in Everton. "He said," playing for England has always been special to me. At any time I was selected as a player or captain it was really special and whoever helped me I thank them but I believe that the time has come to take retirement now.

The Rise of 'Roomania' Wayne Rooney

Rooney had made his debut and become England's youngest player at 17 years and a defeat by Australia at Upton Park in February 2003. But it was his performance in Lisbon against France where he gave an experienced defence a harrowing night in a 2-1 loss at the iconic Stadium of Light, as well as scoring twice against Switzerland and Croatia, that push him into the global spotlight.
The silence youngster who played football from the streets was the name on everyone's lips. The Croxteth boy played in natural style that had suddenly changed him into a superstar.
