Manchester United's Wayne Rooney is king of the replica kit
• Rooney first United player since Cristiano Ronaldo to top list
• Fernando Torres slips to second after move to Chelsea
Wayne Rooney was king of the replica kit last season. The Manchester United striker's surname was the most popular for the back of Premier League replica shirts. It is the first time the England forward has been the top name and he is the first United player to lead the list since Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2007-08 season.
The top 10, published in the Premier League Season Review 2010-11, is based on worldwide sales of names and numbers. For the past two seasons Fernando Torres was the biggest seller but after leaving Liverpool he slipped a place, as did Steven Gerrard.
The top three – Rooney, Torres and Gerrard – are the only players who have appeared in the top 10 in each of the past four seasons. Dropping out were Cesc Fábregas, Michael Owen, Jamie Carragher and Carlos Tevez. Chelsea's Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba both held steady.
The only re-entry was Arsenal's Robin van Persie, who returns after a three-season absence into his highest placing at fifth. Ryan Giggs made the list for the first time, coming in at No10. Liverpool's Uruguayan forward Luis Suárez entered at No8 despite only arriving in England in January.
