Rooney can hit 60 goals for England – Terry Butcher




Former England captain Terry Butcher says Wayne Rooney can clinch more than 60 goals for his country. He stated that the captaincy position of the United striker has been worthwhile. Speaking with BBC Radio, 55-year-old Butcher said, "I see him as one of the greats. Sixty goals would be magnificent but I think he could probably go beyond that." Rooney, who reached his 46th goal in the 3-1 win against Scotland on Tuesday, became captain of his club and country team in August. 77 cap winner Butcher said he's observed a difference in Rooney's play since England boss Roy Hodgson made him captain.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
