Wayne Rooney won his 100th cap for the England national team on Saturday, which would be a fantastic achievement for any professional soccer player and his respective home country. As a gift from the Football Association (FA), Rooney was gifted a special commemorative gold cap to mark the occasion.
Only, the “gold” looked a bit more “mustard” than anything, and the design of the hat was, well, we’ll just say you’re not going to be seeing it on the cover of GQ anytime soon.

Rooney, of course, was very respectful and thankful for the token gift, thanking the FA, his family and the fans for all their support along the way.
Great to win today and proud to have reached 100 caps. Amazing to walk out with my sons. Thanks to all the fans for the support
