WAXING AND WAYNEING

Well, thanks Wayne for your contribution to our national game and well done for achieving many records. 119 games, 53 goals, 11 headers, 37 right foot, 5 left, 7 goals at major tournaments (beaten only by Shearer and Lineker), 22 games as captain, debut April 2003, top England goalscorer la, la,la.

First goal against Macedonia at 17 yr 10m
Fastest goal v Andorra 3 min 31 sec
Last goal v Iceland 30 yr 8 months
His most common opponents? Wales, Slovenia, Switzerland, Croatia, Denmark, Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino and Slovakia.
Last match against Scotland at 31 years old.
Most goals scored against: San Marino, Croatia, Switzerland, Iceland, Kazakhstan
7 out of 7 pens scored + 2 direct free kicks ("unchallenged") but I guess you have to score!
NOTICE THE TEAMS HE IS ACHIEVING HIS RECORDS AGAINST?

There are plenty of accolades such as HeRoo, EuRoo2004, Wazza (like Gazza), a Pub in Devon now called "The Half Roon", maternity units were swamped with Waynes.
Don't mention the 12 yellow and red cards, the "call girl", the hair transplant and shouting down the TV camera lens moment.

So he has done great for us but there have been a few dodgy moments too. My view is that since that lovely documentary that he and his family starred in recently, I have softened! and you can't knock his historical record. This is a full documentary.
