Nike — Rooney England

Rooney was one of England's greatest-ever players.

Yet in true English media style, he was barraged with abuse ever since he won his first cap, at just 17 years old.

What better way to respond to his detractors in the press than break England's all-time scoring record of 49 goals, held by Sir Bobby Charlton?

We created a commemorative newspaper, released the day after Rooney’s record 50th goal, taking the typical negative headlines about Rooney and showing how he responds to them by scoring for England time and time again to become the nation's greatest-ever goalscorer.
