Six years after a moment of brilliance introduced a sparkling 16-year-old talent to the world, Wayne Rooney has a 100 club goals to look back on. “I love the type of goal Wayne scored,” United manager Alex Ferguson said. “Andy Cole was a tap-in specialist because he always anticipated situations and Wayne anticipated very well today. “Scoring 100 goals is a terrific achievement, and his work-rate throughout was phenomenal.”
