San Marino keeper Simoncini keen to grab Rooney shirt

San Marino keeper Aldo Simoncini is chasing the shirt of Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney ahead of their World Cup qualifier against England.

Simoncini, 27, nabbed opposite number Joe Hart's top after England thrashed San Marino at Wembley in October, and now wants the shirt off Rooney's back.

The accountant, whose nation have already conceded 16 goals in Group H, said: "I have a collection of rival shirts at home.

"For this match, I would like the shirt of a forward. If I could get Rooney's shirt that would be good."
