GettyWHAT ROONEY SAID
Rooney told The Overlap: "Where I grew up wasn't an easy place to live, but I used to absolutely love growing up there. It taught me so many different things. I remember when I was 14, I was crossing the road, I think it was a Thursday or something like that. I was playing for the U19s on Saturday for Everton, Colin Harvey was the manager. So I'm crossing the road, I've got a bag of cider and a packet of cigarettes, a car stops to let me cross - and it was Colin Harvey!"
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR ROONEY?
Despite such an esteemed playing career, Rooney has largely failed to live up to the billing at managerial level. He has averaged a dire 1.14, 1.04 and 0.67 points per game as permanent manager of Derby, DC United and Birmingham, respectively, and has been out of work since being sacked by the Blues in January following a dreadful spell.
