Wayne Rooney is running the rounds in the British media as he converted a penalty against Switzerland to enter the 50 goal club in international football. Rooney surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton’s tally to become England’s all-time top goal scorer. While many are aware of this milestone that the England captain reached in 107 games, very few know the other players who are part of this elite club.
