Correct at 10 June 2006, for up-to-date information visit the England Archive		 Not for nothing did Wayne become England’s youngest ever player (at 17 years 111 days) against Australia in February 2003. One of the most exciting prospects England has produced, he is strong, quick, tricky, has a habit of scoring spectacular goals and is still developing.  

Wayne became the European Championship's youngest ever goalscorer, albeit briefly, when he netted the first of his brace against Switzerland in Coimbra. He went on to score two more against Croatia to become England's leading marksman at the tournament.

His achievements were recognised by the UEFA technical study group, who included him in the official Euro 2004 All-Star squad.

He has since joined Manchester United from Everton and established himself as one of the world's best players. Maradona, no less, commented that Wayne has the kind of abilities that could help England to win the World Cup. Here's hoping!
