A presentation ahead of England's next European qualifier will see Sir Bobby Charlton present Wayne Rooney with a golden boot for breaking his 45-year old scoring record.
The Manchester United captain will be presented with the trophy before England's encounter with Estonia on Oct. 9. Rooney scored his 50th goal for the Three Lions when he converted a penalty against Switzerland in September.
The presentation will be one of a number of pre-match ceremonies at Wembley Stadium honouring the country's newest record goal scorer. Another gesture from the Football Association will see a massive flag passed through the stands displaying a celebratory Rooney, according to Sky Sports.
