And so it has come to an end!
Wayne Rooney’s England career has finally come to an end. His recent performances suggest that Rooney was still able to play a role in the national setup.
But for a man who has always been a first team starter ever since he was 18, a bit part role would not have enticed the proud Evertonian.
Perhaps tellingly, Rooney announced his retirement just a few days before the English squad was announced, was gives us an indication that England’s record goal scorer may not have been in Gareth Southgate’s plans for the World Cup in a year’s time.
Here are some of the best tweets, as Twitter mourns Wayne Rooney’s decision to retire from international football.
