PUNTERS BACK ROONEY FOR ENGLAND SKIPPER

WAYNE ROONEY has emerged as the man punters believe could replace John Terry as England skipper, with William Hill having to cut his odds from 16/1 to 10/1 third favourite to lead the side in their opening World Cup game against USA.
John Terry is 4/9 favourite to start as skipper for that match (13/8 not to) with Hills also offering 5/2 Gerrard; 10/1 Rooney; 16/1 Ferdinand; 16/1 Lampard; 20/1 Beckham.’Opinion seems to be firming up that Terry is quite likely to be replaced and punters steamed in to take our 16/1 for Rooney to succeed him for the first World Cup game with a string of bets of up to £50 a time in the shops and bets of up to £300 online.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Terry is 8/13 to be England captain for their next friendly against Egypt with Hills who offer 6/5 that he will not be.
