Wayne Rooney eyes 100th England cap

Wayne Rooney says that he wants to follow in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole by earning his 100th England cap.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has claimed that he wants to emulate Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole by reaching his 100th cap.

The 28-year-old, who is 14 appearances shy of reaching the milestone, is expected to feature at some point during the Three Lions' international friendlies against Chile and Germany.

"It's great that we've had so many, the likes of Steven, Frank, Ashley who have all got 100 caps, then I'm not too far behind," Rooney told TheFA.com.

"I'm proud to play for my country and we are always here and always want to do well. We want to try and do what no team has done since 1966 and win a major trophy, that's the aim for us all and that's what we hope we can do."

Lampard will receive a gold cap to mark his 100th appearance before tonight's match against Chile at Wembley.
