Wayne Rooney. Teenage prodigy. Everton, Manchester United and
England legend. Record-breaking goalscorer. Icon. Maverick. One of
a kind. Rooney’s genius was evident from the early days he kicked
a ball around the playing fields of his Merseyside home. He carried
that instinctive talent from the streets of Croxteth to the biggest
football arenas in the world. Now, just over 12 months since he
called time on his remarkable playing career, Rooney: Teenage Kicks
chronicles the compete story in detail, from early days making his
mark on Everton’s books through to his coronation as the leading
goalscorer for England and the most famous club in the country, Sir
Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United. Rooney was seen as the jewel
of England’s ‘golden generation’ from the moment he burst on
to the scene in 2002. He was a force of nature for his boyhood club
and stunned the world with his blistering performance at Euro 2004.
The tournament earned him a move to Manchester United and greatness
beckoned – over the next thirteen years he scored goals in the
hundreds and won trophies at a similarly prolific pace. His
partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo was the highlight of one of the
most glittering periods in Old Trafford history. As well as
becoming one of the few players to have won every trophy there is
to win for United, Rooney broke out on his own in January 2017 when
he surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton’s goalscoring record. A return to
Everton was followed by a spell in the MLS with DC United before
the last year of his career at Derby. It was not all rosy for
Rooney – two transfer requests made him a polarising figure with
United supporters, whilst the weight of expectation at
international level was often a burden that seemed too great to
carry. Despite all of his achievements, Rooney retired with some
wondering if he had fulfilled the potential that seemed so immense
in the early years of his career. Now, for the first time, his
career is recounted in full and scrutinised in depth by celebrated
Manchester United author Wayne Barton.
