Wayne Rooney will be presented with a golden boot by Sir Bobby Charlton before the European Qualifier against Estonia to mark his achievement of becoming England's record scorer.

The England captain achieved the feat in September, when he netted his 50th international goal against Swtizerland to surpass Charlton's 45-year old record.

A late penalty saw the Manchester United striker reach the landmark as Roy Hodgson's side maintained their 100 percent record in the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

Having already qualified for the tournament in France, England host Estonia on October 9 before they travel to Lithuania three days later and the FA has a number of gestures to mark his achievement at Wembley.

Rooney will also reach another milestone against Estonia when he draws level with Bobby Moore in fourth place on the all-time appearances list with 108 caps.
