Among Wayne Rooney's favourite player is one who, much like himself, has
become a key forward for his club at a very young age...

In a late 2007 interview with Myfreesport, he said that Leo Messi of Barcelona
would be the ideal player for England, outlining his admiration for the young
Argentine..
"At the minute, it would be Lionel Messi," he said, when offered a hypothetical
addition to the Three Lions' ranks.
"He is unbelievable. I was watching some Barcelona games and he has just been
brilliant for them – and Argentina, too. He’d do very well, I think."
Other figures came in for praise, too, both from his side and others.
"The best player I’ve ever played with? [Paul Scholes] Scholesy or [Ryan Giggs]
Giggsy," he said.
"They’re brilliant players and they’ve been brilliant players for years – that is what
makes them so good. To play in the same team as Scholesy and Giggsy is a great
honour for me.
"And against? Zidane. I played against France in the Euros in 2004, and he was
unbelievable. He was one of the best players ever – to play against someone like
that was great." www.goal.com
