Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford netted England’s 100th goal at a men’s FIFA World Cup finals during Tuesday’s 3-0 win over Wales.
Over recent weeks, Rashford has become the latest player to score for the Three Lions at the tournament while representing United at club level, having also been on target in England’s opener against Iran.
In actual fact, our no.10’s goals in Qatar are the latest of 14 netted by Reds within that century landmark.
Four years later, Sir Bobby would find the net three further times in his nation’s successful campaign on home soil – once against Mexico in the group and twice against Portugal in the semi-final.
Charlton’s four goals at the World Cup remains the most for England by any Red.
That tally could be matched – and potentially surpassed – by Rashford this year, however. The 25-year-old now has netted all three of his at this year’s tournament.
Bryan Robson’s two World Cup strikes came in 1982’s 3-1 win over France, while David Beckham also scored twice on the global stage as a Red – against Colombia in 1998 and Argentina in 2002.
Before Rashford’s heroics at this year’s edition, Jesse Lingard was the most recent Red to score at a World Cup, when he picked out the top corner in a thumping of Panama four years ago.
Three of Beckham’s World Cup goals came while he was wearing red, but he did also add to that tally during the 2006 tournament, while sporting the colours of Real Madrid.
Leicester's Harry Maguire was linked with a move to M16 during the summer of 2018 in which he was on target in England’s quarter-final win over Sweden but he didn’t make the move to Old Trafford until the year after.
Former United man Peter Beardsley was a Newcastle player when he scored in 1986, while Michael Owen’s four World Cup strikes all came before his Reds transfer in 2009.
