Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is chasing down Sir Bobby Charlton's England goal-scoring record.
Rooney became England's fourth-highest scorer of all time on Wednesday when he struck the winning penalty against Norway at Wembley. His 41st international goal moved him ahead of childhood idol Michael Owen and within eight goals of England's leading scorer of all time, Charlton.
"I spoke to Michael (Owen) at St George's Park two days after the (Norway) game, and he wasn't too pleased," Rooney said.
"I watched him as a boy growing up, so to go above him in the goal scoring charts is great.
"And I'd be a fool if I didn't look at Sir Bobby's record and feel capable of passing him. It's in my sights.
"Both his records have stood for a long time, and a lot of players have attempted to break them.
"Now they're in touching distance, the two of them.
"It's something I'd love to do. I feel I'm capable of doing it."
