5. Running Turkey ragged (2003)On his first start for England, a 17-year-old Rooney flourished at the Stadium of Light, with his every touch leaving the crowd on the edge of their seats.The striker was full of confidence, linking superbly with his teammates, before being substituted to a standing ovation after helping his country earn a crucial victory in their bid to qualify for Euro 2004.5

4. Stunner in the Maracana (2013)Inside the iconic stadium, England were outclassed for large periods against Brazil, but it was Rooney who dragged his side to a draw in this glamour friendly.First, he laid the ball on for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to equalise, before a driving run and powerful curling shot found the top corner to give England a lead they would eventually surrender.3. Giving France Les Bleus at the Euros (2004)Quite simply, Rooney was magnificent. Against the reigning European champions, with Zinedine Zidane leading a superstar squad, the Croxteth-born teenager was head and shoulders above them all. Skills, composure, he even won a penalty which was missed by David Beckham, Rooney truly came of age in Lisbon.5
