International goal scoring record therefore isn't a fair comparator. Can't really say one is significantly better than the other. The rest of their honours list is the way to go really Great players win things consistently over a number of seasons It's why Matt Le Tissier was a cracking player on his day but not considered one of the greatest top flight players even though he was a joy to watch and scored great goals But Le Tissier V Scholes isn't up for debate either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted July 31, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2022 Ashley Cole, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes all had a mention on here & between them they managed to get to one less World Cup semi final than Gazza.

Who's that old timer 3rd choice keeper at City. Scot Carson or whoever. Probably England's most decorated keeper without kicking a ball.

Love the nearly man nostalgia of gazza. Hate Rooney for being a united cunt. If he'd have been at Everton winning the odd Cup and shagging grannies he'd be above beyond gazza in the loveable rogue camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney would never have reached the levels that he did twatting about at Everton though. Would have been interesting to see how he’d have got on if he’d gone abroad, mind.
