Getty Images SportWHAT ROONEY SAID
On The Wayne Rooney show, the 39-year-old said: "I loved him, he was so funny. The first time we met Coleen we had, like, a lunch and all the players, the players' wives, girlfriends, all the staff were there. And then he come up to Coleen - first ever time he's met her - and he went to her, "Your children, they look very much like the father." And she was like, "Yeah." And he went, "He has very strong sperm!". That was first time he met her."
Rooney then added: "She was like, "Err....". Yes, just move on! I really liked him as a person, different and funny but as a coach I learned probably more from him than anyone else."
