Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney will be presented with an award next month if he breaks or equals England’s scoring record in the coming days.
With England facing Minnows San Marino on Saturday and then taking on Switzerland at home three days later, Rooney who is on 48 goals for his country stands a good chance of breaking Sir Bobby Charlton’s 49-goal all-time scoring record.
It is understood the FA plans to honour the 29 year old with some kind of trophy or plaque before the three lion’s next home game against Estonia on October 9, with Charlton likely to hand the award to Rooney on the pitch before kick-off.
It is hoped that Gary Lineker, who scored 48 times for his country, will also be involved in the ceremony at Wembley.
