Rooney came into the limelight of English football with Everton as 16 year old, but it was a last minute winning goal against Arsenal which broke their 30 match unbeaten run on the day of his 17th birthday that he announced his arrival to the country.

And it wasn't long before national team manager Sven-Goran Eriksson came calling. Rooney made his senior England debut at the age of 17 years and 111 days as he came on at halftime at Boleyn Ground in a shock 3-1 defeat to Australia on 12th February 2003.
