Andreas Watt: Be interesting to translate Rooney's caps into minutes on the pitch. Given that many of Charltons caps came pre substitution.

Nick Hunt: Greavsie scored 26 of his 44 goals in just nine of his 57 appearances and just one at a World Cup. Perspective.

Agustine: One goal in three world cups doesn't make the greatest attacker. Rooney may not even be top 10!

Rob Kelly: Lineker - scored goals when offside favoured defenders and the professional foul was a tactic rather than a red card offence.

Now here's a story you don't see every day.

A Nottingham Forest fan has, as you do, recreated the club's European Cup winning squad ... in Lego.

Nigel Daws, 44, painstakingly recreated the detail and expressions of legendary figures Brian Clough, Peter Taylor, Kenny Burns and John Robertson, the Nottingham Post reports., external

"It takes quite a while to put together and can take me four to five days to complete, costing around £250 in materials, especially when you take into account recreating Kenny Burns' face can cost anything up to £5 alone," Mr Daws added.

"Trying to find a mullet for Peter Shilton's hair was a real task, but I managed to take it from one of the Simpson's characters, while the facial expressions of John McGovern and Archie Gemmill were a particular challenge."

Quite.

Forest lifted the trophy in consecutive seasons in 1979 and 80.

Celine Robinson:  is there any doubt? Salt&Lineker all the way. Scored as many as Wayno in fewer apps.+ took care of Gazza. Top class

Andy Owens: Wayne Rooney is top class. Deal with it. Comparisons are pointless given how the game has changed. Outstanding achievement!

Kendra Rogers:  George Camsell - best goals per game ratio of 18 goals in 9 England appearances.

England's greatest ever striker is Sir Geoff Hurst. 

Wayne Rooney, Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker were all outstanding over an extended period. Sir Bobby Charlton was used in midfield and up front. But the measure of greatness is the ability to produce when it matters. In English football’s entire history it has never mattered more than 30 July 1966. Hurst remains the only man to score a hat-trick in the biggest game of all.

Simon George: Greatest England Striker, scorer in number; Rooney. In importance; @GaryLineker, external. Overall, Charlton, as he started in Midfield.

Adam Smith:  Shearer retired from England at 29. Too early. He'd have beaten the record, banged in goals for the toon way in to his 30s.

PtheP:  You might want to tell Ian (12:58 ish) that Sir Bobby played for Man Utd and everyone loves him!

Here's a lovely video of the moment Wayne Rooney makes a speech in the dressing room after breaking Sir Bobby Charlton's England goalscoring record, describing it as a "huge moment".

Northampton Town fans are planning a peaceful protest before Saturday's League Two match against Oxford United over the club's protracted takeover and Sixfields Stadium redevelopment. 

Cobblers chairman David Cardoza has been in the process of selling the club to an Indian consortium since June.

The consortium's identity has still yet to be revealed, and the work to Sixfields' East Stand has stalled.

"It's badly timed - let's hope it doesn't have an impact," said Cardoza. "The reason people are having their protest, the prospective owners are here to sort all these problems out. The fact they are protesting could work against us."

"I'm on the cusp now, I'm there or thereabouts," Cowan-Dickie told BBC Sport. "I think just a little more push this year, and hopefully I can make it more of a regular thing."
