Maprox Sports: Wayne Rooney Bio And Images

Wayne Mark Rooney (born 24 October 1985 in Liverpool) is an English footballer. He currently plays for the English Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team. He normally played as a second striker to Ruud van Nistelrooy for his club team before van Nistelrooy's move to Real Madrid, although during 2005-06, he showed his versatility as a player by shifting to the midfield and playing on both flanks. He wears number 8 for Manchester United and wears number 9 the English national team.His boyhood team was always Everton; his love for his home town club was famously bore out when he wore a T-shirt reading "Once a blue, Always a blue". However, he would end up playing just two seasons with Everton before demanding, and then executing, a transfer. This has left him on unfavourable terms with Everton fans, as they showed when he returned to Goodison Park and he was booed severely.

Although he has been under an intense media spotlight since first arriving on the scene in 2002, it was not until his performances at Euro 2004 that he gained a reputation on the world stage, as he spearheaded the English attack, scoring four goals. Rooney is also on the cover of the FIFA 07 video game in the United Kingdom.

ngland's teenage star is the hottest prospect in the Premiership. The richly promising striker or playmaker announced his arrival to the world with his spectacular winner against Arsenal in October 2002, which also made him the youngest goalscorer in FA Premier League history - until he was surpassed by James Milner of Leeds. His reputation was enhanced by a trio of dazzling performances at Euro 2004 - before early injury and defeat against Portugal.
