Club legends are not just decided by who was the better player and how many goals they scored. There's something intangible and emotional involved that some of you just don't get. A legend has to spend their best days at the club, show total dedication to us, do something vital (preferably in big games or against Liverpool) and have a genuine bond with the fans. You can usually gauge it by how often or passionately their name is sung after they've retired. The fans were singing about Ole long after he retired. Less so Rooney, despite the stats.
It's not just a case of Rooney being our top goalscorer and, if you state that as the be all and end all, the chances are you don't go to many matches.
