    Can he possibly become Englands leading goalscorer?

    He definately has age and time on his side and barring any serious injuries i cannot see why not.

    I don't have the stats at hand but believe he has 28 international goals to his name.

    There are some fine strikers ahead of him such as Shearer Owen Lineker and top of the lot Bobby Charlton on 49.

    So what do you think? Hope he fills his boots tonight by the way and adds to his total.

    He can start by filling his boots tonight as you say. Looks like he's started this season as he means to go on. He has put last year firmly behind him and yes i think he could be vying for top England scorer of all time

    Injury free yes, and the FA will make sure there are plenty of pointless friendlies as well as Tournament games because Wembley needs paying for.

    Linekers ratio is unbelievable, best goal scorer we have ever had.

    And the record of Sir Bobby (the other one!) isn't bad either, given that he didn't play "up top".

    Yes, very impressive, same as his united stats. Lofthouse and Greaves with great ratios too, just not over as many games. Think Rooney will probably end up topping the charts though.

    Greaves is far better, 4 goals less in 27 games less

    Thanks for taylor's stats - such a waste of a talent. As was greaves but that was self inflicted
