According to England manager Roy Hodgson, captain Wayne Rooney must perform at a major international tournament if he is to be mentioned in the same breath as Bobby Charlton.
The manager said: "To do it, a player would have to be very successful at a European Championship or World Cup as Bobby Charlton was. People would argue Bobby was England's best ever player - there wouldn't be many of my age who would have him outside the top three.”
He added: "If Wayne can break into that in the future when he stops playing, then that is fantastic for him. Bobby Charlton, for me, is up there on a pedestal and it will take time for any of the modern-day players to get up to that level." As highlighted by Agen Bola indo11.com
