Rooney becomes England’s most-capped outfield player

Wayne Rooney has become England’s most-capped outfield player, after new boss, Sam Allardyce, started him in their 2018 World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on Sunday.
Adam Lallana scored a late winner, as Big Sam began his reign with a win.

Rooney has now won his 116th cap for the Three Lions, breaking the record set by David Beckham.




Last week, Allardyce confirmed that the 30-year-old striker, will remain England’s captain. However, Rooney has since revealed he will quit international football after the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
