Wayne Rooney's next away goal in the
Premier League will make him a record-breaker. He has scored 87 league
goals on the road, the same as Alan Shearer; and although the Geordie's
home-and-away total of 260 might be tough for the Scouser to catch – as
of Sunday 16 October, he's on 194 – that only makes it the more laudable
that Rooney has scored not far shy of half his goals on his travels,
for Manchester United and Everton.
And there's some interesting stories in among those goals, too. Controversial strikes back on Merseyside, stunners in the capital, and hat-tricks against more than one hapless opponents. FourFourTwo's number-crunchers and memory-miners present a salute to the United No.10. He may no longer be a shoo-in for club or country, but we certainly did "remember the name".
