On Monday 5th October, the BBC will broadcast a documentary on the career of Wayne Rooney after recently becoming top scorer for England. The programme features several players, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who comment on the forward's career.

The Portuguese was quick to praise him: "I miss him because we scored a lot of goals and had a great understanding on the pitch. He's a great player and one of the best in the history of English football", he added.

Ronaldo also revealed secrets from the changing rooms: "He was the kid of England, all the fans loved him. I was calling him 'Pitbull' in the changing rooms because of his hunger to score goals. Wayne Rooney's strength is his mentality and his constant desire to score goals for either Manchester United or England".

CR7 outlined the Englishman's support for him when the former joined the Old Trafford side: "He's a fantastic lad and he helped me a lot when he came to join us in Manchester. It wasn't easy to adapt and he was always helping me. We had a great friendship during the 6 seasons I played at Old Trafford".
