Wayne Rooney became the country's top goal-scorer

       England football legend Bobby Charlton has congratulated Wayne Rooney after he became the country's top goal-getter and believes that the Manchester United striker will continue to scale new heights.England captain Wayne Rooney netted a penalty in the 2-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win against Switzerland to overtake Sir Bobby Charlton as the country's highest ever goalscorer.
       "I obviously cannot deny that I am disappointed that I now don't hold this record, however, I am absolutely delighted that it is Wayne, as captain of my beloved club and country, who now holds this record," Charlton said.
       Charlton is set to present Rooney with a special golden boot before England's match against Estonia at Wembley Stadium in October.
       Rooney lost his record as England's youngest player to Theo Walcott in May 2006, but he remains his country's youngest ever goal-scorer. He opened his England account at the age of 17 years and 317 days with an 18-yard half-volley in a 2-1 win away to Macedonia in September 2003.
