The All-time England highest goal-scorer arrived at Old Trafford 12 years ago this month as a contentious and aggressive teenager. But when Wayne Rooney walked out at Old Trafford for his testimonial on Wednesday night, he was the man in every sense.
Captain of Manchester United, captain of his country for now, and father of three boys – Kai, Klay and Kit – who joined him on the walk out of the tunnel to an ovation from the United fans and those of his old club Everton, Rooney has come a long way. He is England’s record scorer and soon to be United’s as well.
There have been a few bumps along the way, not least the two times when he came close to leaving Old Trafford before signing a new contract, but few would dispute that he has lived up to expectations since making that £30million move from Merseyside in 2004.
