In the 10 ranks of top scorer in England national team, senior and legend players like Michael Owen, Frank Lampard, to Gary Lineker, dominate it. Meanwhile, Harry Kane leads the new generation with his 19 goals achievement.

Rooney believes one day Kane could surpass his goal achievement. That’s why Kane gets the chance to give an award to Rooney.

“I look forward to presenting him with the trophy. I asked Harry to present me with the award because I believe he will beat my goalscoring record,” Rooney said cited by FourFourTwo.

“It was great to be out there in front of the fans again and it was special for me and my family,” the player said.

Harry Kane has the possibility to surpass Rooney’s goalscoring record. Currently, the Tottenham Hotspur striker is just 25. He also proved his accuracy by becoming the top-scorer in 2018 World Cup.
