Wayne Rooney's England retirement: some special moments which sum up his international career

Since making his England debut in 2003, Wayne Rooney has had one of the most extraordinary international careers of all time.

In some moments he showed why he is regarded as one of the best ever to wear the Three Lions. At other times he courted controversy, or failed to live up to massive expectations.

Here are the top 10 defining moments from Rooney's England career, confined to events on the pitch...

Rooney played for England for the first time on February 13, 2003 - he was their youngest debutant at the time, a record since surpassed by Theo Walcott. A historic moment at Upton Park, it was overshadowed by opponents Australia earning a shock 3-1 win.

With England needing a win to guarantee progress out of the group stage, it was the irrepressible Rooney who scored twice in a thrilling 4-2 victory. Earlier he set the record for the youngest scorer at the Euro finals with a double against Switzerland.

Just as it looked as if Rooney would dominate in Portugal and steer England to glory, a broken foot suffered early in the quarter final ended his tournament. England lost on penalties.

After failing to qualify for Euro 2008, England went into the 2010 World Cup with high hopes. However an awful tournament was summed up by a dire 0-0 draw with Algeria, and Rooney complaining about the fans on camera at the final whistle. He later apologised.

Incredibly, Wayne Rooney will only ever have scored once in a World Cup - against Uruguay in 2014. England lost 2-1, as they did in the opener against Italy, and finished bottom of the group.

Rooney's 53rd and final international goal came via a penalty to put England 1-0 up against Iceland in Euro 2016. Iceland came back to win 2-1 and dump England out in one of their most humiliating defeats ever.
