England captain Wayne Rooney should have retired from international football after Euro 2016, says former goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
Rooney clocked up his 116th appearance for his country in Sunday's 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Slovakia, making him the most capped outfield England player.
Ex-skipper Shilton holds the overall record, having earned 125 caps, but he insists his desire to see Rooney call it quits has nothing to do with that landmark being under threat.
"I don't think he's a striker anymore," the 66-year-old told BBC Sport. "We are trying to fit him in, but he's not a midfield player for me. Never will be.
