Deerey, do you mean the Wayne Rooney who was England’s all-time leading goalscorer?
Okay, I exaggerated. Not the biggest flop, but take in to account how many games and how many years it took him with the service around him, and in comparison to his club career, he never fulfilled expectation and towards the end of his career seemed to blame everyone else and sulk. Then the issue with supporters as awaywego mentioned. In this regard I wouldn’t say Owen and Kane were / are international flops for instance but more tempted to say Rooney was, 50 odd goals or not. Who were most these goals against? Rarely recall him excelling in the big games, when it really mattered. Major tournaments – bit of a flop.
