Was talking with a mate last night abouty Torres and such.

Didnt Rooney go on a run of not scoring for nearly a year?

Anyone got info on it?

I think it was 8 months, but that included the summer break

(edit) and possibly a spell on the sidelines through injury

9 games is his longest barren run. He always plays the 90 mins though so its adds up in minutes.

Where'd you get your info?

It is, officially, the worst scoring run of his professional life. When Wayne Rooney was withdrawn against Newcastle United on Monday it was the 13th successive game in which he had gone without the adrenaline rush he craves the most. In total, it has been 1,081 minutes – just over 18 hours – since his last goal for Manchester United or England.

All that can be said with certainty is that Rooney has never experienced such a morose scoring drought, the previous worst being a 12-game run – 1,002 minutes in terms of match-time – from December 2005 to February 2006, ending when he scored twice in the Carling Cup final against Wigan Athletic.

Also I think before his goal this weekend he was up to 9 games without a goal from open-play
