Anticipation was great before Wayne Rooney's debut for Manchester United but what followed exceeded all possible expectations. To score once on your debut is special, twice incredible, but to net a hat-trick defies belief. Yet against Fenerbache, in the Champions League, Wayne Rooney achieved just this. An expectant Man U crowd watched as their latest acquisition swept on to the pitch determined to make his mark with his new club.

After an early Ryan Giggs goal from a cross by Kleberson, the young Merseysider smashed the ball into the back of the net in the 18th minute, to the delight of the Manchester crowd. The Fenerbache crowd meanwhile made up for their team's lack of goals with a deafening barrage of chants and shouts, but the young Rooney was unabashed and in the 29th minute he scored again with a stunning goal which sent the Fenerbache goalie reeling.

Two minutes after half-time, Fenerbache found the back of the net with a Nobre goal, but their jubilation soon evaporated when Rooney took a magnificent free kick from the edge of their penalty area, curling the ball round the Fenerbache defence and past goalkeeper, Recber, to complete an amazing debut hat-trick which will ensure him a place in the hearts and minds of a generation of Manchester United fans.

After watching Rooney's truly stupendous performance in the 6-0 victory over Fenerbache, Denis Law said of him, "Rooney can do the lot. He will eventually have all the goalscoring records. I don't even see why he can't overtake my 46 in a season." Praise indeed from the Lawman.

To mark Wayne Rooney's amazing feat, we have come up with a stunning new design for a commemorative edition print. Featuring imagery from each of the goals which made up what surely must be The Greatest Debut.
