Rooney, who turns 29 later this month, is now just seven goals short of the England record held by Bobby Charlton.Continue to see what Mr Roy said.
"The record won’t play on Wayne's mind," said Hodgson.

"We'd like to think, with the way he is and the footballer he is, he's got a good few years in him yet.
