Wayne Rooney is on 248 goals for Manchester United, just one behind Sir Bobby Charlton’s club record, going into Sunday’s game against West Ham. Paddy Crerand, a team-mate of Charlton’s when they won the 1968 European Cup and a contributor on MUTV, compares the two.
Knowing Bobby and Wayne, the funny thing is that both of them are very quiet people, shy even. People might not realise that because they see them performing in front of 70,000 people every week.
They would have complemented each other as players, Bobby with his range of passing and Wayne up front.
