Wayne Rooney: Euro 2012 Top Goalscorer Odds
Suspended for England's first two games so has to hope his team-mates can cope in his absence.
Wayne Rooney (England)
Best Golden Boot Odds: 40/1 (Betfred)
Caps: 73
Goals: 29
International Strike Rate: 0.40
Domestic Season 2011-12:
Games: 44 (Manchester United)
Goals: 34
Season’s Strike Rate: 0.77
Summary:
It’s a massive ask for Rooney to miss Group D matches against France and Sweden and still finish among the leading scorers in the competition. But it can happen. In 1986 Gary Lineker scored an unequalled 6 World Cup goals but didn’t get his first until the final group game. But in 2012 it remains to be seen if England can get the results needed to prevent their star striker travelling for 90 minutes of football.
