The people earlier in the thread definitely haven’t read the posts properly when they have said “ what about Messi, what about Ronaldo “.

Much as it pains me , I’d agree on Rooney .
Petulant , bad tempered and arrogant, his football was pretty damn good . Obviously I couldn’t take to him because of who he played for but there was admiration for his on field performances.
It was telling that he missed the FACup semi final in 2011. I’m not sure City would’ve won that day if he was playing . Almost a sliding doors moment for the two teams .
