So as well the game itself, what are everyone's favourite memories of Rooney so far in his career?

[Magic]

Euro 2004 against the Portuguese.

[Disco]

Him getting knocked out on his kitchen.

[Magic]

When he had a go at England fans through the TV cameras.

[Kikó]

When he became England's best midfielder.

[Reg]

Long range volley v Newcastle, Euro 2004, the counters when they had Ronaldo, his partnership with Tevez, the pass for van Persie's volley.

[John]

Overhead kick against Man City was probably his finest moment. He'd kill himself if he tried that now.

[Reg]

Shinned it.

[SincereTheRebel]

Mikel John Obi is due one as well. Going into his 11th season with chelsea I will be attending the testamonial.

[Shindig]

Damn, we should've had one for Taylor before he left.

[Ian]

Debut against Fenerbahce(?), Newcastle goal, Euro 2004, Everton goal against Arsenal, overhead kick, season when Valencia got him about fifteen headed goals.

[Lewis]

Why is he having this now, rather than in 2014?

[Shindig]

This is the first year in a while where he's not negotiating his contract?

[Reg]

Why is he having this now, rather than in 2014?
Were there rumours he was leaving?

[Kikó]

Fuck off Mourinho.
