🎥 OTD 2004: Wayne Rooney made EUROs history with stunning display 🔥 | OneFootball

Wayne Rooney's EURO 2004 campaign might have been just three-and-a-bit games long, but it quickly became the stuff of legend.

On this day 21 years ago, he made some championship history.

Despite the 18-year-old terrorising the French defence days earlier, England lost their opening group game at the death, and needed a response against Switzerland.

Rooney led it, scoring twice in a 3-0 victory and becoming the youngest-ever scorer in a EUROs game. The record lasted just three days before the Swiss forward Johan Vonlanthen broke it.

The future England captain would score two goals against Croatia in a final group game, before breaking his foot in the quarter-final loss to Portugal.

It remains one of the great "What Ifs" in English football history.
