the Premier League so to be voted the best goal in the history of the Premier
League is a great feeling.
"There's so many good goals in that shortlist, goals that I watched in my
living room as a kid: Alan Shearer's goal, Paolo Di Canio's, Tony Yeboah's,
David Beckham's.
"To be competing with them and winning is a great honour for me and
something I'm very proud of. I'd like to say a big thank you to all the fans
that voted for me."
Rooney has scored 26 premier league goals this season for
his club and is 2 goals behind the current top scorer Robin Van persie.
