All language subtitles for Rooney

I was brought up
to fight for my place to play.

Fight for everything.

That will never leave me.

Remember the name, Wayne Rooney!

Now then, here's Rooney!

Oh, my goodness me!

Rooney! Oh, wonderful!

What a goal! What a player!

Wayne Rooney, out of this world!

The outstanding
young talent in English football,

one moment of madness,
sent off in a crucial World Cup tie.

What people don't understand
is you're 17, you're 18 years of age.

You're not supposed
to be able to handle this.

There's gonna be mistakes made.

Fifty for England, for
England's all-time leading goal scorer.

It's Wayne Rooney's record breaker.

Are you not tired of football yet?

No, no.

I love it. Um...

I love playing still.
It's, it's what I know.

I'm not stupid, I know I'm not
gonna play for the next ten years.

If I finish playing,
I have to go into work

because it would be easy
to be sat in the house

and say, "You know what?
I've got nothing on.

I can have a glass of wine here,"

and then no good's
gonna come from that.

I think that's where it's good
if, if you can keep yourself busy

and I know I'm in a transition period

from player to coach,
player to manager.

I wanna try and manage
at the top level

and I wanna try
and challenge myself,

so, um... I see it all
as a learning curve.

Match scarf for the game
now tonight. Souvenirs.

Nice match day scarf here.

Rooney! Rooney!

The last time
Manchester United won the FA Cup

four years ago, Wayne Rooney
was a key player for them

and tonight United's all-time record
goal scorer is in the opposite corner.

With 253 goals
in 559 appearances for the club,

Rooney's legendary status
at Old Trafford has long been assured.

Ooh!

What do you want
to be remembered for?

Being a good person.

For me, it's important that people,
in terms of teammates, coaches,

friends, family, they remember me
for who I am rather than what I've done.

Ooh!

There's stuff
which has happened in the past,

with girls for instance,

that I've caused, stuff I regret
and it's something which I feel has,

has stuck against my name.

I think it's important
because it is part

of what's happened with my life growing up
and it's something which has stuck

and maybe tarnished
my reputation as a person.

People still see them.
They look at me in a different way.

I'm not that person,
I'm not that type of person.

The love you have for each other
will bind you together for life

in a relationship
that will influence your whole future.

The future will have
its ups and disappointments,

its successes and failures,

its pleasures and pains,
its joys and sorrows.

- Coleen...
- Coleen...

- Wear this ring...
- Wear this ring...

As a sign of our faith and love.

As a sign of our faith and love.

Mr and Mrs Wayne Rooney!

I've been told to behave myself.
I'm sorry, that's it.

No. I've watched Wayne,
studied Wayne for many years.

You know, kept an eye on him and...

Have you seen the film,
uh, "Meet the Fockers"?

It's been like that, ain't it, Wayne?

Yeah.

Wayne and Coleen have
been under the microscope

since they were 16 years of age

and they are, you know,
brilliant people,

the way they've handled
the pressure.

Whoo!

What was Wayne
like as a 13, 14-year-old boy?

Cheeky, full of confidence.

Always up to something.

I always remember he used
to hang around by where I lived

and now and again you'd get his mum
shouting up and down the street, "Wayne!"

I am best friends
with Wayne's cousin Claire.

My dad and Claire's dad
ran the local boxing gym.

Our families
have, have grew up together.

Give us a wave!

Wave for Mum.

I think I was about 12, 11 or 12,

I knew that I wanted
to go out with her.

Wanted to marry her
and I said to her at the time.

I said when we grow up
we're gonna get married

and you're gonna have,
um, our kids.

And she was looking at me
like, "Yeah, good one!"

He's a charmer. Growing up, that's,
I think, that's how he won me over.

The more I said no, the more he'd say
I will one day, I'd get that date.

Actually I was quite romantic.
I used to write her poems.

-Do you think she's still got those poems?
-Yeah, she has, yeah.

Some of them are, yeah, funny.

When you look back.
I haven't read a few them for a while.

I remember one of them was...
I remember the name of it.

It was called Wiggle Wiggle.

- Go on.
- I can't remember how it went, honestly.

There's one that says
"wiggle wiggle" in but it's not...

called Wiggle Wiggle,
it's called something else.

No, they're very romantic.

But no, you can tell he loves me.

Dad!

-Dad.
-Alright.

Where did you
put your uniform, Klay?

-How was school?
-Good.

Give us your coat.

-Give us your jacket.
-Do you want a snack?

-Do you want a wrap or...?
-Bagel.

Bagel.

Get Kit.

Coleen,
does Wayne ever do the cooking?

No, not... Sometimes.

I put quite a bit
of pepper in all my meals so...

she doesn't really like it that much.
Um, white pepper so it's quite strong.

You can't move.

Yeah, but you don't
have to play it now, do you?

I am!

Just sit up
and watch your head, please.

If this was me now
at his age, at seven,

you'd be out in the street,
you'd be playing football. You'd...

I know society's changed now
and kids get home from school

and, even on the council estates,

they're on their computers but...

I'd be out all the time,
where here, no one really does it.

Used to live
in Armill Road, Croxteth.

The same road my nan used to live on.

It's a great area.
It's had its bad times, of course,

um, with a bit of violence
and stuff, but...

I think the thing
is if you're from there, it's not...

you're living in it, you don't feel that.

You don't feel
it's, it's a violent place.

So what was
Wayne like as a kid?

Naughty. Naughty.

To me, not to anyone else.

He was good as gold to anyone
who'd take him out. He was good as gold.

But to me, he was so naughty.

I used to play football constantly.

Used to smash things
in the house with the ball.

My mum would take
the ball off us in the house,

So I'd roll socks up and I'd be
playing football with rolled up socks

and she was constantly moaning, moaning!

Anything to do with a ball he loved.

Snooker, you should've seen him
with the snooker on the telly.

Be like a lunatic as a baby,
wouldn't he?

In his bouncy chair, he'd be like that,
get all excited over the balls.

Cricket, everything to do
with a ball, he loves it.

I remember
playing at the time and...

knowing I was good.

At that age you do score two,
three, four, five goals a game.

I think I scored
about 80-odd goals in the season.

I remember I used to pretend
to be Tony Yeboah

after he scored, um,
the volley against Liverpool

and the volley against Wimbledon.

Dorigo looking for Wallace.

Now Yeboah with a chance!

Oh, what a stunning goal!

Back in the centre. Here he is! 3-1!

Still to this day,
all my friends in Liverpool,

they call me Jimmy
after Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

It's 'cause I scored a goal, um,

which was in the local newspaper
years ago, I was a kid.

Jimmy Floyd used to do a cartwheel
so everyone, my brothers,

my cousins, my friends
from back home still call me Jimmy.

Come on, Wayne.

Well done, Wayne.

Me two younger brothers,
Graham and John,

all three of us were at Everton.

So after school we'd get two
or three buses to get to training,

so my mum'd have to wait and wait
round for three training sessions

basically to finish
and some days it was freezing, um...

It was pissing down with rain
and so for my mum to do it,

in terms of getting the bus,
it must have been

a really difficult time.

Stick the thing at the front.

I always remember my dad,
he used to go to the pub

on a Friday or Saturday night
and I used to always say to him,

bring me some food in
when you come home.

So I'd, I'd be in bed and I'd be
waiting for him to get home.

I'd come down the stairs and he'd let me
sit up and have some food with him.

I used to love it. That was like
my, my time with my dad.

Um, without the other kids being round.

It's recording now.

My mum'd be the one
to discipline us really.

Whereas my dad'd be more, um,
anything which went really too far.

I've had full-on arguments with my dad
when I was younger which, looking back,

I was bad for the way I spoke to my dad.
I shouldn't speak to my dad the way I did.

And then, yeah,
we'd, we'd argue and he'd give me a slap.

Can you remember doing
something that got you a whack like that?

Yeah, I remember
I was going fishing, um...

and I asked my dad for some money
because we were staying overnight,

um, fishing-- I think I was about 14.

He gave me one pound,

so I remember looking at it,

then I looked back at my dad
and said, "What's that?

What am I meant to do with that?"

And he's given me a clip, yeah.

I think the thing is, my mum
and dad growing up, um,

we were never a rich family.
We had the majority of stuff we needed.

My dad worked really hard trying
to provide for us as a family

and obviously it weren't always easy.

Yeah, he probably felt I was,
um, disrespecting him

and what he'd done by questioning
the amount of money he gave me.

I remember
when I got the job at Everton,

somebody said to me,
"You're a real lucky bugger, you.

There's a young boy in the academy
called Wayne Rooney."

I says, "Oh, is there?" you know.

But let me tell you,
he was an incredible talent.

And Wayne Rooney
gets his eighth goal in the FA Youth Cup.

Once a blue, always a blue.

At that time,
Wayne was still at school though.

He was a shy boy really and he was a boy.

He was just a, just a kid
who loved playing football.

One of the first things I asked you
when you came up here

was how good can he be?
You just said, "He's gonna be brilliant."

You've gotta remember he's 16.

And he's got a lot to develop, he's not
had any full-time training whatsoever yet.

It's very important we don't say
too much about him, to tell you the truth.

But it's great to see for the supporters
and great to see as a manager

when you see a boy
so committed to the football club.

Oh, dear!

Rooney, well...

The other bit
that I liked about Wayne

is Rooney's a real street footballer.

Brought up playing outside,
playing in the roads,

and playing with the bigger boys
in the park and whatnot.

Wayne was exactly that.

Wayne was right off the streets
as far as football goes.

But in the same breath,
he was right off the streets as well,

as far as we know
what goes on in the streets,

and if that was drinking then
Wayne would've been involved.

Well done,
it's been a fantastic campaign.

You yourself have played very well in both
games and you're our Player of the Final.

Thanks. Thanks.

One day,
I was crossing over the road

and Colin Harvey,
who was me coach at the time...

Um, I was crossing over
with a bottle of cider,

um, and he, he stopped
to let me cross over.

And obviously, I looked at him
and realised it was him.

I was like, "Oh, shit!"

Um, next day he pulled me in
in training and said,

"Listen, you've got the biggest talent
I've ever seen for anyone your age.

Don't waste it."

I was 16. I think
that's an important time in your life

because that's when, certainly
if you want to go into football,

that's really when
you have to make a decision.

Lads are out drinking
and you're under pressure.

The lads are all saying,
"Oh, come on, just stay out," and...

But you don't, you go home
and you focus on your training.

And it is difficult. It's very difficult
to make that decision.

Well, I weren't the nicest kid,
um, at that age.

Just things I done which were wrong.

I think I had a lot of fights, um,
street fights when I was younger.

I wouldn't say I was a bully
but I'd say there was some things I done

which I shouldn't have done and crossed
the line, um, looking back now.

I don't know whether it was an anger
or there was an enjoyment in it.

But obviously sometimes
you, you get hit and it's not nice,

but I used to, um, get
some sort of enjoyment out of it.

I remember growing up,
I used to go to a lot of concerts.

A lot of Travis concerts, Stereophonics,
um, Cast, who was a Liverpool band.

Yeah, and again there was normally
a lot of fighting at the end of it.

You can imagine in the middle
of the mosh pit and there's probably about

fifteen of us, all Scousers, and, um, you
could be in the middle of Manchester.

Always ended up being a fight
between someone, yeah.

I remember, uh,
I got my jaw snapped in Manchester.

I was about 13.

And some guy, he grabbed
hold of me and he hit me.

He went to hit me again
and I ducked,

and I just threw a big haymaker at him,
caught him and then I ran off.

So would you
go like to the concerts

knowing that
you were gonna fight at the end?

- That's really why you...
- Not knowing, no.

But we knew there was a chance.

We used to go up to Southport
and fight a lot as well,

so I've come back from Southport
with my eye all stitched up,

and, um, again my mum
weren't happy, so...

How old were you then?

I was probably about 12.

You get taught you
have to fight to survive,

and I don't mean physically fight,
but you have to fight.

You get taught you have to work
harder than everyone else.

It's almost like that we're not gonna get
any favours really from...

from the government
or from any people in power that...

You have to make
your own way of, of living.

And I think for kids at that age

who do have any sort
of goal or ambitions,

you can take it too literally
that you have to fight.

Do you know what I mean?
And, um...

I think sometimes that did boil over
and that did happen.

You're always trying
to treat them correctly

and you're always trying to make
sure that you bring them up right,

because you're worried
about them, you know.

You think of the amount of boys
who've gone off the rails at 15, 16, 17.

So my intention was to make
sure that there was no chance

Wayne Rooney could go off the rails.

When I got in the Everton squad,

I went into that first week's training

and knew I was the best player at 16,
knew I was better than all of them.

Right, okay.
Come on, let's go then.

Yeah, I'll do it.

I played against him
as a 16 year old in a reserve team game.

He booted me and David May.
I couldn't believe it.

I knew he was like a...
I knew he was a dirty little bastard.

Played like he was a street kid
from the minute he came into Everton.

Fought for every ball,
jumped for every header,

went full blooded into every tackle.

Defended for his life,
attacked for his life

and just threw everything
on the football pitch.

And you align that with the incredible
talent and that's why he was so special.

Number four, Patrick Vieira.

Number eight, Freddie Ljungberg.

Number 12, Lauren.

Number 14, Thierry Henry.

Ah!

Obviously, Everton v Arsenal.

Number 19, Gilberto.

People talk in the game,
you know, there's a young kid at Everton

that, you know, scores goals.

He has the body of a man.

But when I saw him I was like,
"Whoa, how old is he?!"

You know, "16?"

And then you looked at his body
and you could see the power.

Just see him walking.

You know, sometimes
when you catch eyes with players,

straight away you know
what they're about,

and you could see that
with Wayne Rooney.

You looked at him,
you knew he wanted to succeed.

He wanted to destroy everything
that was in front of him.

Number 18, Wayne Rooney.

Amongst
the substitutes, Wayne Rooney,

who'll celebrate
his 17th birthday next week

by signing a three-year
professional contract with Everton.

That was my last game,
um, as a 16 year old.

I was beating myself up over it thinking,
I want to score as a 16 year old.

I was on the bench,
sort of thinking, "No chance."

Playing against the best team in
the league. 30-odd games unbeaten.

Vieira, Sol Campbell, Henry.

I was in awe and I was thinking,
"Fucking hell, there's David Seaman.

There's all these players
I've watched for years."

And then the one thing which
I didn't realise is how big they all were.

They were massive. I was thinking,
"Fuck me, these are absolutely huge."

Listen at the time,
when we played Everton,

people expect us to win there.

But Wayne Rooney
doesn't, or didn't,

care about who was
playing against him.

When he was playing
he was in a survival mode.

You know, "I'm here to stay."

You know, "You're gonna
like me the way I am."

Rooney! Rooney! Rooney!

You're always watching
the clock and then I come on.

...16. And coming on,
number 18, Wayne Rooney!

Remember just thinking,
"If I get a chance, I'm shooting."

"I'm, I'm shooting from anywhere,
um, if I get a chance."

I always remember
Sol Campbell backing off.

My eyes just opened up.
I could see this was my chance.

It has to be perfect for it to go in.

Rooney.
Fancies his chances.

Oh, what a brilliant goal!
A brilliant goal!

Remember the name, Wayne Rooney!

It's premiership history.

The big league's
youngest ever goal scorer...

signals his arrival on the big stage

with a breathtaking goal

to end Arsenal's
unbeaten run, surely...

This kid who's not even old enough
to take driving lessons

has just scored this goal.

He's scored it over David Seaman,
against the league leaders

and he's put them
on the verge of a defeat

that nobody can remember
when they last lost.

And this is the youngest
goal scorer

in Premier League history
that you're looking at.

The moment though belonged
to the brilliance of the goal itself.

The record road ends on Merseyside

and it has marked his arrival...

as a major, major name
in English football.

Arsene, you felt
your side could go unbeaten all season.

That isn't the case but it's taken
a real battling performance, hasn't it?

Everton, uh, was great today.

They did fight for 90 minutes
and in the second half,

Rooney made the difference.
It's a special goal and a special talent.

It's the biggest English talent
I've seen here since I am in England.

and, uh, I hope he will not be injured
now in the next two, three years

and that mentally he will be able
to cope with what's happening to him,

but he's a huge talent.

There was
just this enormous buzz

around, uh, the stadium.

You know, the Evertonians
had been waiting for this lad.

So he was their, their, their,
their messiah, if you like.

And from that day forward, life
was never gonna be the same again.

I'm very delighted.
This is my dream come true really.

What does it mean to you
as an Evertonian?

It means a lot.

Means the most important thing
in life really.

There is
an element that he was famous

so early in his life that
he wasn't ready for it publicly.

I remember his signing
press conference for Everton

when he would've been 17
and it was really difficult for him.

It was the first time he'd had
to speak in front of the media

and he just mumbled.
He wasn't able, he wasn't articulate.

Um, and that kind of gave rise
to the idea of him being thick.

There was this rumour going around
that he couldn't read or write.

Um, ju... can't, can't explain it.

Best feelings in my life.

This young lad was like,
um, a rabbit in the headlights.

How many years have you signed for?

- Three and a half.
- Three and a half?

So you're on better wages now
than you were last week, are you?

Or will be soon.

The abuse the lad,
the boy faced...

was quite honestly
just out of control and ridiculous.

They'd set their agenda.

To have that pressure
put on you and...

photographers following
you round and...

I always felt people looking at me
and I just didn't want it,

didn't want that to be the case.

- When are the stairs going in?
- The stairs are in.

- No, the sides just here.
- Oh, the bannisters, uh...

They looked ready,
so it should be soon.

I can't wait to move in.

I'm looking forward to moving in
but I don't come very often.

I'd rather come when it's finished.

I think that where it's better
for Coleen because if I was

the same as what Coleen is,
where if I was like,

attention to detail and things,
then... it'd piss her off.

It'd piss other people...
I've asked for one room.

-But I've got a little small room.
-He's got a little tiny box room!

That's all I want. And a snooker table.

What's happening...?
What's... see this metal bit here.

What's happening with all this?

It's all gonna be mirrored this side.

And then this is gonna be like an alcove
so it'll have like a candle inside.

How old were you
when you bought your first house then?

I was 18, weren't I?
And you were 17.

But we moved to Formby.

Um...

We lived in it for about
eight months.

-Was it?
-Was that all for?

-Yes.
-That short?

'Cause I moved to Man United
when I was 18.

Was that quite...
mental for you both

-going from Crocky to...
-Yeah.

-quite a big house in Formby?
-The thought of it was all fine and great

but then obviously
you were away every weekend

and I used to leave my mum's
and cry all the way home to mine.

It was all of a sudden
and it was a matter of months,

everything just happened.

We've always grew up
quicker than what,

what we were meant to,
really, I think.

So this is what
we've been waiting for.

We've had to try
and be more sensible than most people

and be aware of situations
what's going on around you.

Especially with the press.
The press have been a nightmare.

You've gotta learn quick about it.
Accept criticism.

We've had some unbelievable times
that everyone's knew about.

And then we've had some really bad
times that everyone's knew about.

So it's not like you can just go and
hide away and deal with it yourselves.

But that's what the whole
our world is, is like.

It's because people
think they know you

and then they'll go
and tell someone else,

and they don't really
know you that well.

Do you look back?

Not very often, I must say, because...

I did it when I, uh,
finished after 2006.

I looked back but I said
to myself, "No, Sven.

Don't, don't start to do that."
So very seldom.

We heard about him, of course,
when he started to play for Everton.

And the more we saw of him,
you could see this will be a great player.

You could think
that he would be shy,

nervous for the training,
what will happen.

But not a chance
that he felt anything of that.

He went in and, boom,
tackled in training the big stars

and he didn't say it but you saw,
"Here I am. I'm ready."

He had
a cheeky way about him, Wazza.

I hadn't seen many players like him,
you know, with his strength,

with his ability, with his confidence,
with his goal scoring ability.

Every now and again,
a player does something

in a training session
and the whole place goes, "Whoa!

That wasn't meant to happen."

He shrugged off a couple of players
like with strength

and a bit of skill
and then dinked Paul Robinson,

and everyone just looked around
at each other and was like...

"Okay, now I get
what people are talking about."

It was my first start
to play for my country.

It was such a huge moment.

I felt I was ready. I knew I was ready.

I knew I was waiting to start
and the other players knew that as well,

and I just wanted to enjoy myself,
wanted to go and play, enjoy it,

and go and have fun.

I had to impress
to show Sven-Göran Eriksson

that I should be in his next squad.

No real conviction
about their game yet but here's Heskey.

Now Rooney's following up here!

And there's conviction now!

Wayne Rooney has become the youngest goal
scorer in England international history.

There was this
primitive thing about Rooney

that was one of the magical
things about his emergence.

He was like an unpolished diamond.

There was a feeling that Rooney
might be something special,

something that would be
perhaps the final piece

that the, the golden
generation needed.

Okay, boys. Jamie just tuck
your collar in, mate, please. Thank you.

We always talk about
the expectation of that era of players,

you know, obviously
with Stevie G, with Frank, with Rio.

And then when we had Wayne
coming into the team,

expectation was always
gonna be high.

But I never doubted
for one minute

that Wayne couldn't handle that.

Euro 2004?

Enthusiastic right away?

He was a hell of a player,
there's nothing to say about it.

But I thought it wasn't fair at one point
to put everything on a guy that's 18.

That expectation that he's gonna
change everything for English football.

But this is something that
the guy had to deal with,

that Wayne had to deal with
early doors.

In Lisbon tonight,
the England team bus

with the slogan "Follow the roaring lions"

took the players to a heavily
guarded hotel on a hill

that they hope will be their home
until early July.

England should relax here.

They've booked an entire luxury hotel
for themselves.

Inside, their very own amusement arcade,

complete with every game that even
a millionaire footballer could wish for.

It's not actually till you
get there, you get to your base,

and you're thinking,
"Right, let's go, let's do it."

I remember just being excited round
the hotel, just being eager to play.

I was an 18-year-old kid
just enjoying myself.

Ah!

What a finish! Come on!

Come on!

You do need to keep
yourself occupied because

you've obviously got the pressure
of the country on your shoulders.

- Sit in it up to your waist.
- Look out.

-And we time it.
-Oh, sorry!

How cold is that, John,
by the way?

Freezing.

-In you go.
-Go on, JT!

Oh, hey!

Oh! Oh! Aw!

Get in!

How long
have we gotta go in for?

Look, he's got about
six inches of fur on him.

He's like an otter!

Lilian Thuram said that Wayne
Rooney's not ready for this tournament.

Now you've spent a lot of time
with Wayne during these last few days.

What would you say to Lilian Thuram?
Is he in for a shock?

I hope so. Wayne's definitely
ready for this tournament.

He's looking forward to this tournament
more than anyone

and hopefully he'll prove
Lilian Thuram wrong.

Euro 2004 may have
kicked off in Portugal yesterday,

but for thousands of England fans
today is the real start of the tournament.

England play France
at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon later.

The heart of Lisbon looks
like it's been taken over by the English.

Tens of thousands of fans have arrived
here on trains and charter planes,

confident they can beat France tonight.

-2-1.
-England.

2-1, Owen and Rooney.

Uh, 3-1 to England.

I think England are a bit underestimated
compared to France.

I remember
in that tournament, at 18,

thinking to myself,
"I'm the best player in the world.

There's no one better than me."
And I believe at that time I was.

I weren't looking, thinking,
"That's Zinedine Zidane."

I remember thinking, "We're gonna
beat yous. We're too good for yous."

It could've been Pele, Maradona
and George Best on the other side.

It wouldn't have mattered.

Come on!

Keep drinking, boys, keep drinking!

Looking at the team
of England right there,

in the dressing room
just before the game, I was like,

"Wow, that team, that midfield,

those two strikers...

Legends of the game."

This is the moment
we've all been waiting for.

It's la crunch.

I felt like if we were gonna win
the tournament, it's because of me.

If we don't win it, it's because of me.

Thierry Henry has spoken
in the week of the lack of fear

in the eyes of Wayne Rooney.

Feel the tension.

And England playing the ball confidently
out of their own half of the field.

Beckham looking long towards Rooney.

Came off the header Silvestre.

Rooney making his weight felt.
He is big and strong.

Approaching the mid-point
in the first half.

Makelele. Zidane.

Wayne Rooney.

Made his presence felt
in no uncertain terms.

Zidane had not met him before.
He has now.

Rooney has acquitted himself really well.
Vieira couldn't quite catch up with him.

Rooney's gone past Lizarazu too
and held off Silvestre.

Beckham takes it towards King.
It's in!

It's Frank Lampard and those three
little words that mean so much!

England lead France!

I think you could see their
centre backs were scared to come near me.

They were scared that I'd go past

and physically I could handle
myself against them.

Foul by Makelele.
They can't handle him at times.

You don't do that
against France.

He was doing something that was, for
an English player, really, really special.

He was just breathtaking.
This was a different level.

This was something out of this world.

England on the front foot.
Lampard can't get enough of the ball.

Scholes onto Rooney.

Such a natural footballer.
He really has excelled tonight.

The French were unbelievable.

Zidane and Henry were two
of the best players in the world,

Thuram was one of the best defenders
in the world

and he was ripping them to shreds.

They couldn't handle him.
They could not handle him.

And he was 18 years of age.

Rooney never quite had that
under control and then barged into Thuram.

I just banged right into him,
into his jaw

and then I looked back at him
as if to say,

"Now you know," um...

Still to this day seeing his face,
the fear of thinking

what am I gonna do to him?

What a run by Wayne Rooney.

It's Henry who's chasing him.
Oh, he's brought down!

Is he by Silvestre?

He's given it!

Penalty to England!

Wayne Rooney fearless!

Header away by Cole this time.

Free kick's been given.

We mustn't lose this game.

Oh, here's Henry!

He's been brought down by James!
It must be a penalty!

It has to be a penalty
and David James is yellow-carded.

On the day, in all fairness,
they battered us.

We should have lost that game easily.

Even though the game
didn't go well for us,

I think our fans
were all of a sudden excited

because, you know,
it was that Gazza excitement

about having a player like Wayne

playing for England and that was,

that was really when he announced
himself to the world.

There was a feeling
watching him in that game

that he could beat a team by himself.

And it's the same feeling
I think that we've had

subsequently perhaps
with the absolute greats of the game,

with people like Lionel Messi,
Cristiano Ronaldo.

There was the same feeling about Rooney.

There was and people will,
you know,

people maybe will deny that now
but at the time there was.

There was a feeling then that we have
got the best player in the world here.

There was a real intoxication
about watching Rooney at that tournament.

Gerard instead to Beckham.
Gerard was taken down by Celestini.

Beckham has touched the ball
into the path of Michael Owen,

who has space. It's Owen.

Lifted in! Rooney!

Wayne Rooney
becomes the youngest player ever

to score in the European
Championship Finals.

All of Europe
will remember the name now!

Standing between England
and the last eight, Croatia.

Dangerous opponents.

Boy in a man's body!

With the world at his feet!

Sven, can you think
of any young player

who has made such
an impact in a tournament

since perhaps Pele,
Pele in 1958?

Can you think
of any other young player...

It must have been 1958,
uh, in Sweden.

The World Cup. Uh, Pele.

Since then I don't remember
anyone 18 years old.

I don't remember. You might help me
but, uh, I doubt it, I doubt it very much.

Rooney mania's sweeping the square.

The latest way to a fast buck,
get your T-shirts and sing the songs.

All together now.

People make comparisons
with any young players

who come through and play
for their country at that age.

There's gonna be comparisons
and that was the song which,

um, Everton fans were singing.

Called me the white Pele so I think
that just grew on the back of that.

But I couldn't care less, um, if they

compare me to Pele or they compare
me to Peter Crouch, for instance.

I couldn't care,
doesn't really bother me.

It's Wednesday.
We've got Portugal tomorrow.

This could be the biggest game
of our lives tomorrow.

It's a one-off game, you know.
You lose, you're out.

And you can see that in people's faces.
You can see it in their eyes.

Even at 18, I could see players
were a bit more worried.

This is where the fun starts.

Anything is possible
from the quarter-finals onwards.

Came off Costinha.
It's come for Michael Owen!

The time has barely ticked
past two and a half minutes.

It's Beckham, it's deflected.

It's Rooney. It's saved by Ricardo.

I knew straight away,
um, something had gone.

I heard a pop, I felt it.

Um, felt a crack.
Um, and I was thinking, "Oh, no!"

And there was just no way
I could've played on. Um...

I was devastated.

Suddenly the nation falls quiet.

In those four games in Portugal,

it felt like a door was opening.

You know, because of Wayne Rooney,
anything felt possible.

And then, whoosh, it was gone.

I went to a Portuguese hospital
to get a X-ray.

I'm in like the reception area
and then there's like an old TV

high up in the corner
with the penalties on.

I remember watching
Darius Vassell walk up.

Didn't fancy him at all to score.

When you see that fear
in someone's face...

Oh, he's saved it!

Ricardo...

sends Portugal
into the quarter-finals.

And all of a sudden,

it's over and I'm sat in a Portuguese
hospital in my England kit.

It was just like... And to make
it worse it was against Portugal,

so they're all jumping up in the hospital.

It's recording!

My nan's buried
right next to Goodison.

She would've loved to see me play.

She would've been the proudest woman
ever if she'd seen me play.

There's probably more moments
when I'm a bit low, I think of my nan.

I still, to this day, still speak to her.

It's more, more like
a prayer really and...

I don't know, it's just something
I always feel a...

I've had that protection.

You know, with my nan, certainly,
when I'm more vulnerable and a bit low,

she's the one
who, um, seems to still help me.

Say cheese!

No.

I spent a lot of time in,
in my nan's house.

She was the boss of the family,
me nan.

Um, very strong-minded lady

and, um, someone
who's sadly missed...

still to this day.

He adored his nan.

-She was great, wasn't she, your mum?
-Yeah, yeah.

She was only four foot eleven,
wasn't she, your mum?

-Yeah, something like that, yeah.
-She was funny.

Remember still
about nine o'clock,

she used to have an electric blanket
so I'd go up and turn that on for her

and then we'd sit up watching TV,

like "Prisoner Cell Block H"
or "Carry On" movies and stuff.

My nan used to have a little
caravan outside her house,

from which she sold,
uh, drinks, crisps and...

Bit like, bit Gypsy like.

The whole area used to go there.

It was like a little supermarket.

Sold everything
what you needed to cook with.

She had a telly in it and everything.

Used to sit in with her sometimes,
didn't we? Watched all the soaps with her.

Pot Noodle.

But I used to then get like
cans of Coke and Fanta and crisps,

and take 'em to school
and sell 'em in school.

Make a bit of money.

Got no paper, Wayne.

Dad, let me have a go.
Let me have a go.

It's a release for me in terms
of, I know that I'm speaking to her.

It's like I know
that things will be okay.

It just helps me get through
some bad moments.

Bath!

-Do you want a bath or a shower?
-Uh, no, no.

Bath, Mum.

Finish it off quick
and then we've gotta...

Where is my Mum?

In there.

Okay.

What's wrong?

-Banged my head.
-You've banged your head?

Hurts!

-Hurts, Dad!
-It hurts, okay.

It'll be better in a minute, okay?

-What's the matter?
-Banged his head.

Bobby!

There's nan and granddad.

Hiya, you okay?

-Yeah, nice to see you.
-You, too.

There's a little set-up down there.
I'll show you, Dad.

Watch that grass there.
Don't 'cause it's slippy.

I think what the press seen
quite early on in my career,

there was someone here who was
obviously very talented at football.

But also who was a bit
of a loose cannon

and could sell newspapers.

David Beckham was coming towards
the end of his time in England.

So they were looking for someone new
to, to put all that attention on.

And obviously, me and Becks
are completely different,

different people,
different, live different lives and...

but that's what the press were trying
to create with me and Coleen.

It's a gilt-edged lifestyle.

Wayne Rooney's home
in an affluent suburb of Merseyside.

But he hasn't been here for days
after embarrassing revelations

about his private life.

I think the first time, um,

we were young
so there was a lot of arguing.

I knew groups
that Wayne was hanging round with

that weren't good for him.

Lovely people but together
with alcohol, not good.

Um, and I told him that
from day one.

And I didn't want him
to stop being friends with them,

but I just didn't want him
to go out in situations with them

because, um,
they got themselves in,

into bad situations,

but I do think, um,
alcohol has a lot to blame.

uh, and still has...

to this, you know, from things
that have happened recently.

And I think it's not,

it's not a good thing
for, for Wayne to be unsupervised.

I put myself in the wrong place,

and when you're in the wrong place
and there's alcohol involved,

then... you're gonna
make bad decisions

and you're gonna have to suffer
and deal with the consequences.

That's what happened.
It doesn't take away...

any of my love for Coleen. Um...

It happened. It was, uh,
a wrong decision to make.

Um... I held my hands up
and, um...

and that's it,
we worked through it.

When you're making them decisions
you've got to

focus on what you want
and not what else because you have

so many people saying
different things to you.

Oh, you know, "Why... why
is she getting back with him?"

Or, you know,
"Should've got rid of him ages ago."

Obviously, I listened
to the people who matter to me,

my mum and dad and they've always
given me a positive outlook on things,

and there's nothing
that we can't deal with.

And that's my way of...
You know, we're in a situation,

let's sit down,
let's see what we can do

and can you make it work?

And we have
and, you know, we're not,

we're not the lovey-dovey
type anyway,

and we like to have
a laugh together,

and we work well together.

And we've got four kids
and people...

I know people say, "Oh, well,
they're just staying together

to keep the family unit together."
That was part of it.

But also we still love each other.

Hopefully, you know he's learnt

and he doesn't get himself
into any of them

horrible situations again.

But it's happened
and I've gotta live with it.

And if I couldn't cope
with living with it,

I would've ended the relationship.

Manchester United bid 20 million.

Newcastle upped their offer
to 23 and a half million.

Some fans said to me today what's
the point in him going to Newcastle,

he can stay here and win nothing.

Rooney! Rooney!

Well, Wayne Rooney
has been in Manchester all day today

and Manchester United are finally
confident that they've got their man.

We're gutted, aren't we?
We're sick, you know,

'cause he's actually one of us,
supposed to be, isn't he?

I thought he would've stayed
another season at least, you know.

"Once a blue always a blue"
he had on his shirt.

Manchester United's
new signing and his girlfriend

were in front of the cameras today.

It's been a turbulent few weeks
in the life of Wayne Rooney.

He's had to put up with a torrent
of abuse from Everton fans

for saying he wanted to leave
the club, and what's more,

the misdemeanours in his private life
have been made very public.

Okay, gents.

-Do you want some water or something?
-Yeah. Please.

Wayne, what has the boss said to you
about how a Manchester United player

has to behave on and off the pitch?

I don't think he has to say
anything to me. I think...

as a professional footballer I should
know myself and I do know myself.

It's been a tough week
for everybody connected with me.

Obviously I made it clear that I wanted
to leave Everton Football Club

and once I knew
that Manchester United were in,

in for my signature, then there was
only one place I was gonna go really.

Stability looked as if it had
returned to Wayne Rooney's life today.

Everyone around him here wants it to stay.

You start off
with the press where it's,

childhood sweethearts,
isn't it fantastic?

These two young people
that lived only 200 yards

away from each other
and now in this relationship.

And they're a success and, uh,

they're everything that we dream of.

But once you fall off the pedestal
that they've set for you,

that changes completely.

From a press point of view,
they were then definitely...

a front page and back page couple.

Number eight, Wayne Rooney.

Rooney is ready.

There are no ordinary
European nights at Old Trafford,

but tonight is definitely a bit special.

Get ready for the next
episode of "Wayne's World".

It was a big moment.

I needed to start my career well
at Man United because I'm a Scouser.

It's very rare a player from Liverpool
goes to play for Manchester United

and wins the fans over easily
so I knew I had to start well.

It's not often
that Manchester United

or the Champions League
are upstaged by anyone or anything.

But Wayne Rooney's debut for the country's
most famous club, it's an event.

It's easy to forget this wasn't just

his Manchester United debut
but it was his European debut too.

It was the first step that he'd taken
onto the biggest stage

in club football, the Champions League.

This is what
Wayne Rooney was born to do.

It's almost like
he knows that the world's watching

and his reaction to that
is not to cower away

or... or be cautious or be at all
anxious about that moment.

His... His reaction,
because of his belief in his ability,

is to go and seize that moment.

That feeling
of, of the fans watching you,

it's such a great feeling.

When they leave I want them
to go home and tell their,

their kids or their, their friends
how good you've just played.

Wayne Rooney
scores for Manchester United.

And it's not the last time
that you'll hear that.

Wayne Rooney
finds the big stage just to his liking.

Rooney.

He's done it again!

Give him the stage
and Wayne Rooney will perform.

Doing what he did on his debut
was just typical.

When he played football
I always thought that he thought of it

as the most purest thing in the world,
that I've gotta do

everything I can on this pitch
for every second, everything.

It's Rooney.

It's inevitable!

Some things are just meant to be.

Wayne Rooney has saved
his first senior hat-trick

for his Manchester United debut
in the Champions League.

He was just a kid, man.

He just created big moments always.

Man United debut, hat-trick, bang.

Like taking a free kick,
just signed at 18 years old.

Giggsy or whoever, senior players,
"Move over, it's my, my time," bang.

He just done it, he just always...
Especially at that young age.

There was a fearlessness
about him that you hadn't really seen.

Where are you going?

Klay, you playing?

You're first.

Five.

One, two, three, four...

-Oh!
-Right, well, you go up the ladder.

Look, you're going up the ladder.

-One, two, three, four, five.
-I'm winning, Mum, aren't I?

-Go on, your go.
-Dad, look at me.

Oh, no, he was there.

- He wasn't. He was over there.
- He was.

He went up that ladder.

He went up that ladder
then he come round.

-He did.
-Okay, yeah, he did.

No, leave him there.

- Nah!
- One, two, three, four...

-Oh, close!
-No, you're there.

Yeah, 'cause you've gotta go
round here like this.

Yeah, but that...
He weren't in front of me.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

I'm winning.

Ha-ha! You've gone down the snake.

It's just a game.

Kit! Kit!

- Kit!
- You're disqualified.

I won.

I won so you's have all go to bed.

-I won.
-Okay, goodnight.

-So you have to go to bed.
-No!

Yeah, 'cause I won,
I decide that you can go to bed.

No!

Kit.

- You lost.
- No!

Stop it now.

I won.

- Don't let them win then?
- Sorry?

-Don't let the kids win then?
-No.

Well, did you see there? Like the way
he's shouting, crying like that.

It's a bit...
I was probably the same.

Good afternoon!

Welcome to the heavyweight contest

for the Barclays
Premier League Championship.

We were almost champions.

We needed not to lose that game.

So I believe that for a rival club

to be a witness of a rival
to be champion, that hurts.

Wayne Rooney,
he's got new boots to christen today.

The very same boots that he'll be taking
to the World Cup finals with England.

I remember the game
and I changed my studs.

Put longer studs in
'cause I wanted to hurt someone.

Just anyone?
Or anyone in particular?

Yeah, um, Chelsea, if...

I think if they got a point,
they won the league.

At that time I couldn't take it.

So "premeditated" is the word?

I changed my studs, yeah.
They... The studs were legal.

They were the legal size but they were
bigger than what I'd normally wear.

Yeah.

Here we are.

John Terry got one off Rooney.

I remember
there was a 50/50 with John Terry

and I've gone right over the ball.

John Terry does not stay down

unless John Terry's
got something wrong with him.

On the top of his foot
he had a... a big hole.

He was on crutches after the game.

Probably some people
will say, "Wow!" Uh...

"That's not a... a very nice thing
to do, to feel or to say."

But for people like me,
for football people like me,

we look at it
on a different perspective.

He's just a young guy
that is upset that he's frustrated.

That doesn't accept to lose,
uh, a title on a second time,

which for me means a lot
in relation to the character.

Blame myself for that injury.
I think if you look at it back...

my front studs have got caught in
the ground and me foot's bent forward,

which I done the three metatarsals,
broke three of them.

So, yeah, I blame myself.

Well, you can see
the agony on his face right away.

It says that guy that could shoot us
to the World Cup

and be our most influential player.
Is he gonna be there?

One's thoughts are with Wayne Rooney.

He wants to win always.

I don't think he, uh, thought
a bit about the World Cup

before he goes out
on Stamford Bridge, rightly.

He wants to win that game.

- And were you at that game?
- I was at that game.

So what was going through
your head when that...?

Shit!

Hey, Rooney!

There's real concern
this evening for the World Cup fitness

of England striker Wayne Rooney.
He'll be out for six weeks.

Coleen, Coleen, how's Wayne?

I remember thinking,
it's my first World Cup,

how can I not try and be there?

Gonna do everything I can and I did.
I done... I was in oxygen chambers.

Wayne! Wayne!

I was back and forwards
seeing specialists.

Sir Alex,
he didn't want Rooney to go.

He told me, uh, very, very straight.

"Don't take him. That's it, Sven,
I'm going to kill you."

Verbally.

And I said, "Alex, go on holiday.

I'm going to take Rooney
and we're going to the World Cup, sorry."

And that was it.

The metatarsals just became

a theme of tournaments
from the point that Beckham broke his

in 2002 and, of course,
Wayne was gonna do his in 2006

'cause he was Beckham's
sort of successor as the team's mega star.

On the road to the training
ground, a welcome sign that said it all.

As the team warmed up
for the first time on German soil,

every lens and sports
journalists' eye

was trained on one foot
and the player attached to it.

Man United and England agreed
to get an independent specialist in.

And whatever he decides,
um, they go with.

He took me out onto the pitch,
had a look at me moving.

His last test was, um,
he just stamped on me foot.

Said, um, "Does that hurt?"
I said, "No. "

He said, "You're fit."

Yes, Wazza! Hey, hey!

Well done, son.

Big man's back in town, son.

Fingers crossed.

If it's a small chance
that Rooney might be ready,

even if it's for one game,
and you don't pick him, Sven,

they would have killed me
before the World Cup, for sure.

He hasn't
trained for five, six weeks.

You know, I think we all get a little
bit carried away in this country.

The lad's had a broken foot and, you know,
just let, just leave him be.

Let him, let him rehabilitate.

My first training session
with the team was the next day.

We went out onto the pitch, jogging round.
There's a ball by the halfway line.

I've kicked it trying to hit the crossbar.

Pulled my groin.
Had a six centimetre tear in my groin...

...which, um,
I didn't report to the physios.

I didn't know that.

What do you think
people will think hearing that, fans?

Uh, I don't know and I think it's...

naïve, of course,
but you wanna play. You...

You wanna play for your country
and I was thinking...

I'll be okay.

Expectations were now sky high.

England were gonna win the World Cup.
You know, this was the golden generation.

This was the best team anyone had seen.

You knew that the players
all had book deals.

The... the wives and girlfriends,
of course, were starting to become famous.

Baden-Baden was this small,
sleepy German town.

Very well-heeled, very orderly.

Um, there was only really one bar
that the, the...

the wives and girlfriends
and parents actually went to.

It wasn't crazy but it appeared crazy,

and a lot of photographers
just came from nowhere.

Back then, getting the photograph,
getting the shot,

which had to be done
with a conventional camera,

was a really, really big thing.

There was nights where we did go out
and, you know, we had a good time,

and we were...
no one done anything wrong.

The players
weren't out with us, um...

We never dragged them out
of the hotel to come out with us.

Out of all the tournaments
I'd say that was the most

memorable one that we felt
like a big England family.

An elite sports team
should have no distraction.

It's a World Cup.

We had distractions
like you would not believe.

To be honest with you, when
I look back on that 2006 tournament

and I think about how it was handled,
the build up to it,

that was obviously the WAGS
and the families travelling.

Wayne's injury, coming late, the big
man's here and all that sort of crap.

It was just a nonsense.

It was probably the height of suspicion

between the press
and the, um, and the England team.

So that was an era where you didn't
really get near to the players.

There wasn't particular closeness
back then between us and them.

Why?

I think you're looking at the baggage
of past tournaments, past failures.

1998, David Beckham, um,

gets sent off against Argentina
and gets destroyed,

not just by the press
but gets destroyed by...

you know, the British public
and comes home

with people burning
effigies of him and so on.

And that was I think a big shock,

a big dividing line between
players and the media maybe.

And I guess the press
were more powerful then as well.

I was never right
for that tournament physically.

I was getting painkillers non stop.

By his own
ridiculously high standards,

Wayne Rooney's
just looking a bit weary to me.

He's lasted what,
uh, nearly 69 minutes.

He's punched
the, uh, coaches' dug out.

I mean, it's just him.
"I wanna play football."

It's almost like Rooney's been
called in for his tea there, isn't it?

Come on, son!

He was deployed by Sven

as the kind of all-purpose saviour
of the team, if you like, up front.

A team
that was not functioning very well,

so was starting to launch
long balls in his direction.

And he was getting a lot of criticism

because after all this wait
for him to play,

he wasn't quite able to deliver.

For England now,
the heat is truly on.

Knock-out football in baking
temperatures, this is intense.

Oh, he's lost it to Rooney.

And Rooney could punish him here.

Rooney's not happy
with his goalkeeper there.

He wanted a better kick than that.

Rooney, chance to worry the centre half.

The system is not working for me.
Rooney's frustrated.

Rooney needed to be angry.
He needed to hate his opponent.

He needed rage.

That guy was nuts.

He was a mad man.

You could say something to him,
he'd just flip. "Aaaagh!"

He was
always playing on the edge.

He was only ever a little
trigger away from snapping.

Over the top for Rooney,
trying to squeeze between centre halves!

Aggression,
ferocious, tenacious, not violence.

Yeah, of course,
he threw the odd punch.

But to me that was, to be fair,
where someone deserved it.

I never saw him throw a punch
where no one deserved it.

David Beckham!

Yes!

Oh, that's brilliant!
It's brilliant from Rooney.

Well, I think England fans
everywhere will be delighted

by the fact that he's looking
much sharper now, isn't he?

First half, he was frustrated.

Second half, England
have got him in much more

and his work rate's picked up as well.

It was not brilliant
but it was very stable.

Uh, we were, uh, a good team.

Rooney! Rooney! Rooney! Rooney!

Before the Portugal game I thought,
now we're going to, to win it.

We're going to beat Portugal
and go to the semi-final.

To play in a tournament
like a World Cup

you've gotta be
at your absolute peak.

And he needed football.
He needed games.

He needed sharpness, he needed
the bank of minutes under his belt.

And he didn't have them.

And then it just becomes
that he was just frustrated.

Couldn't handle frustration.

Stakes are high,
World Cup quarter-final.

Down the years, the last eight matches
in World Cups for England

have been pretty dramatic affairs.

And here is Wayne Rooney
with an early chance.

Blocked by Meira.

Rooney.

That's nicely done!

Beckham!

Here's Rooney's lay-off to Lampard!

Cleared away by Miguel.

It's a lovely lay-off by
Rooney. Why hasn't he gone for goal?

The snap shot was up.

This is England's
brightest moment so far.

Now Rooney.

Every time he has the ball
there are possibilities.

England are playing so badly
but he's playing well.

He's fighting lone battles.

He's... he's trying
to chase down every ball

and fighting with these really good,
quite tough Portuguese defenders.

Then the street footballer comes out.

The outstanding young talent
in English football,

one moment of madness,
sent off in a crucial World Cup tie.

I still don't know
how the referee

hasn't given me a foul beforehand.

And I still don't know to this day,

truthfully, if I've meant
to stamp on him or not.

I don't know, I couldn't tell you.

Me head had completely
just blurred out.

I don't know if I've meant to do it.

I don't know if I've just come
down on him accidentally.

As the game went on,
I was on my own.

I smashed a few things up
in the dressing room when I went in.

And England are on the brink
of elimination again.

I remember sat there watching it.

It was probably the most loneliest place
I've been.

I remember sat there thinking,
"If we go through...

I miss the semi-final,
potentially miss the final.

If we go out it's my fault."

Ronaldo for Portugal.

It's another excruciating
World Cup exit for England.

Once again quarter-final and bust.

Are you saying
it wasn't a red card?

No, I don't say this.
I never, I never say this.

And why the... Wayne is my friend
and I say... I say sorry.

I think you,
much more than me,

for the next years
need Wayne Rooney.

So pay attention, please.

He is the golden boy
of English football.

Don't kill him.

I beg you because you will need him.

How much
of that tackle do you think

was just sheer anger at the pressure?

I don't know. I think it was
just a spur of the moment thing,

when he's just...
just lost it for a second.

Did you have that switch?

Yeah, more than likely, yeah.

Been in some dark places.

You look at yourself,
you look at consequences.

I think that's why I like to be alone
and to get yourself through it,

because whatever happens
from them times,

it's you, it's only you who can,

can turn it around and if you can't
get through moments of heartache,

moments of disappointment,

then you may as well stop
'cause you're gonna have them.

It's Manchester reunited,

with Rooney and Ronaldo
on the pitch together.

I remember speaking
to Ronaldo and saying to him,

there's gonna be a lot of media coverage
on what's happened.

I've got no issue
with what you've done.

Let's get ready to go
and win the Premier League.

What did he say to that?

Yeah, I think he was relieved.

I think because...

Yeah, uh, I've...
Other players might have an issue.

I had no issues with him.

My focus was on Manchester United.

A new season starts
then for Manchester United,

one in which they can't really afford
to let the grass grow.

They've got to make up
ground on Chelsea.

This is Rooney looking for Ronaldo!

Certainly friends again now!

Rooney provider, Ronaldo the finisher!
Four up inside 19 minutes.

Manchester United
are blowing Fulham away.

I think out there we let
our football do the talking today

and thought Cristiano was brilliant
and scored a great goal.

O'Shea...

Not really away by Carsley.
It's fallen to Rooney.

He can win it here. He might have
won it for Manchester United.

I wanted success,
I wanted to lift trophies.

It still is my whole thing
in playing football.

It has been one of the great
finishes in the Barclays Premier League.

They've done it in style.

There's no better feeling
when you win a trophy with your teammates.

It's the best feeling
you can have in football.

The evolution
of Wayne Rooney was...

he evolved there as a player.

I saw the passion
at the beginning,

I saw the aggressiveness
in the right way.

I saw the desire there,
"I want to kill."

To, okay, now, eh, that's not
enough to succeed in the game.

Just look
at this run from Wayne Rooney.

That is tremendous.
They just couldn't stop him.

I have seen Wayne Rooney
playing on the right

because he had to for the team, playing
on the left, he had to for the team.

And he was going to do it,
no matter what.

For me that's a sign of a guy
that understands

what's important to, to win.

Don't like losing at all.

Remember
before the Champions League final.

I'm not thinking,
"Oh, it'd be great if we win this."

I'm thinking,
"How bad is this gonna feel if we lose?"

Oh, he's missed it! He's missed it!

So it's more that fear
of losing driving me on,

more than the thought of winning.

Rooney, right foot, has buried it!

Manchester United
are Champions of the World.

Wayne Rooney delivered it for them.

You win this, you have done
something special.

You won it three times in a row
and you are special.

Rooney.

And it's Nani on the gallop again.
He's got Park with him.

In for Rooney!

Hundred Premier League goals
for Wayne Rooney.

The PFA Players'
Player of the Year for 2010, Wayne Rooney.

Is it a big responsibility that you feel,
carrying the nation's hopes?

Um, no, I don't think of it that way.

I think, um, we've got a lot of work,
us players in the team.

Um, a great manager
and, um, you know, if...

if I get injured then so be it.

We've got other players
there to do the job but...

I think we've prepared well
for the finals and, you know, hopefully,

we'll be able to bring
the trophy back home.

Chipped in, Rooney's in there!

Just taken off his head by Halliche.

2009-10 had been
one of his best years

and then he had an injury
in the Champions League against Schalke.

History repeated itself. He came
to the tournament undercooked

and the memories of 2006
meant there was this little narrative

starting to build about,
he was a good player

that didn't do it in tournaments.

Now he finds Rooney.

He just seems to be struggling to

come to terms
with controlling the ball

and giving it to the right place.

It was one of
the worst games I've ever seen in my life.

Wayne struggled because again
it was a tournament he went in

where he wasn't properly fit.

The booing even drowned
out the sound of the vuvuzelas.

England's fans felt badly let down
by their players.

Wayne Rooney felt let down by the fans.

Nice to see your home fans boo you!

That's loyal supporters.

Those loyal supporters
had had to endure

one of Rooney's worst ever games
in an England shirt.

There's no doubt at all
it's a night that Wayne Rooney

and the rest of his teammates
will be very keen to forget.

A night when the England players
failed to deliver.

One of the things about Euro 2004,
I've always thought

about Rooney is that his impact
in that tournament was so stellar

that in some ways
it made the rest of his career

a prisoner to that tournament.

Because our expectations
were so high after that tournament,

he'd made such an impact.
He'd torn apart

some of the best defences
in the world.

Our expectations were so high
that almost everything else

was bound to be a disappointment.

Boarding a plane
to fly out of the country,

but for Wayne Rooney getting away
from his troubles will be harder.

Over the weekend,
a tabloid newspaper

alleged the England
and Manchester United star

paid an escort girl for sex.

That's great, isn't it? Lamp.

-Where's that going?
-That's in the main lounge.

They were the two big chairs
that was gonna go either side

of the, the bar but I've just said
leave them ones for now.

Do you ever think,
the pair of you, that it's amazing,

that you're where you are together today?

Yeah, uh, I do I think, um...

we're lucky that we've both,
you know, had the strength

and support of each other
and people around us,

and to, to, to keep going
and... and trying,

and that's something
that we have had to work at.

Have you forgiven him?

I wouldn't be standing here
if I hadn't forgiven him.

When these, these things
have happened I've...

um, we've sat down
and I've explained what's happened,

um, and it's not nice.

It's not a nice thing
to, to have to do or to do.

It won't happen again,
I don't want it to happen again and...

um, for us to, to get through it,

it was tough.
Had tough, tough days,

tough weeks, tough months.

But I feel, um,
we've been through hard times

and it does make you
stronger as well.

Life goes on and I've...

accepted... Well, not accepted...
I've... moved on.

- You've moved on and it's...
- You've accepted it?

No, uh, I, I wouldn't...
Not the behaviour, no.

It's not acceptable.

If forgiveness is...
Like, I'd say it was different.

I wouldn't... It's not acceptable
what he's done but...

it's...

it's happened
and that was what...

that was, you know, the stage of life
that we were in at the time.

And, um... But we've moved on.

I forgive him.

But, yeah, but what...
It wasn't acceptable.

Um... But, no, it's not,
it's not something that, you know...

If it come up, we'd talk about it
like we're talking about it now.

It's not... I haven't got the anger
that I did at the time.

Okay, Sir Alex
will now make a statement.

David Gill phoned,
he says, "I'm on my way over."

He says, "I've got
some bad news for you.

That his agent intimated

he wouldn't be signing a contract
and he wanted away."

I mean, it was a shock.

Well, I couldn't believe it.
I just was dumbfounded.

I could not understand it at all
because only months before

he was saying
it was the greatest club in the world.

He wanted to stay for life and...

I mean, I just don't know
what's changed the boy's mind.

And we've done nothing but help him
since he's come to this club.

That's another mystery for us.

I don't know how many times we've
helped him in terms of his private life

and other matters.

We still have the door open.

- And who knows?
- Alex...

Okay. There's no questions.

We sold Tevez
then we sold Ronaldo,

so I was the one player
left with a high profile.

So I went into Alex Ferguson's office

and I said to him,
"What's the plan here at the minute?

We've brought two young English players
in who are unproven."

And then I remember Alex Ferguson's
response was, "Get out of my office."

Wayne Rooney has just confirmed that
he does want to leave Manchester United.

The club's star striker released
a statement a short time ago.

The one big disappointment
I had with Wayne

was when he announced publicly,

just as we were walking
into the changing room,

his teammates were playing a game.

Don't do that to us.
Take your shit somewhere else.

It's on Sky Sports News.

Beamed into us,
"Wayne Rooney..."

It literally hit us like a tonne of bricks
because this wasn't him.

This is not him.
You know, he couldn't do that.

He would never damage his teammates.
He was a team player.

That was the only time that
I've ever thought he let himself down.

They were offering me
a contract of £200,000 a week.

So it would've been quite
easy for me to say five years,

£200,000 a week, let me sign it now.

Would've been quite easy
for me to do that.

But I wanted success on the pitch.

That means more to me.

Here is Wayne Rooney
on the front page of, uh,

the Manchester Evening News
in the light blue of Manchester City

and they are among the front runners now
to sign United's talismanic striker.

He's a good lad.
He plays football well.

He gives his all for the team.
He wins games. He scores goals.

And, yeah, he's a human being,
he makes some mistakes like we all do.

I don't care. But don't do that
to your teammates.

And I was surprised
that he survived that.

I really was.
I thought that was it, he's done.

I think it damaged him with the fans
a little bit at the time. I do.

Because obviously the idea
was he was going to City.

I think one of his problems
was that he took on Fergie.

You can't do it and I think that
sort of turned fans against him.

But all the things Wayne said about how
they needed to do better with transfers

and invest in the team
were actually

what United fans
are still talking about now.

Actually, if you look
five years down the line

from that meeting, Alex Ferguson
knew where the club was going

and he got out of there
as quick as he could.

And they're still picking up
the pieces now.

As I sit here now,
I think that takes real guts that

and courage to do what he did,
'cause none of us would've done it.

Not in a million years.
Gone into the manager and said,

"Who you signing? You'd better sign
some good players, else I'm off."

We'd have been
turfed out that door

quicker than we'd actually
finished our sentence

because you just wouldn't do that.

But you look at the likes of, you know,
Robson and Cantona,

and Roy Keane and Rooney.

These were the personalities
and characters that could do it,

because they basically
were that great a player.

And they had that little bit
of an edge to them,

that they would go
and do those types of things

and that's what
makes them stand out.

Just days after saying he was intent
on leaving Manchester United,

Wayne Rooney has stunned fans
by announcing he's staying after all.

Old friends.

This is the image released this
afternoon symbolising harmony

between Manchester United's manager
and star player.

He apologised to me this morning
and the players.

And I think he'll do that
with the fans, which is important

because we've all been hurt by
the events of the last couple of days.

From now on, whatever he says,

I think it will take improved performances
on the pitch

to convince many fans that Rooney
is truly committed to this club, Fiona.

I think if he looked back with hindsight,
he'd be mature enough

and honest enough to say, "I went
around it probably the wrong way"

if he was honest about it.

But at the end of the day,
did he get what he wanted?

If he got the contract he wanted
then he might sit there and go,

"It's exactly what I needed to do."

150 up for Manchester United
for Wayne Rooney.

He just needs another 100
to beat Sir Bobby Charlton.

I thought I'll make the fans
like me again.

I'll get them singing my name again.

Here goes Rooney!

I'd do anything
for that club to win.

I'd cheat for them to win.

Nani.

Rooney! Oh, wonderful!

What a goal!

And what a time, in what a place!

What a player!

Have we all been lucky
enough to witness something very special?

Well, I haven't seen anything
like it anyway, that's for sure.

All the talk will be with that
winning goal. It was unbelievable.

We won league title
after league title after league title.

We got to three Champions League
finals in four years.

Kicked it towards Giggs,
who's onside, and Wayne Rooney!

Oh, yes!

The best moment yet in the mercurial
career of Wayne Rooney.

In terms
of what we achieved,

it probably is the most successful four
or five years in Premier League history.

Manchester United
are champions yet again.

But it gets lost because
Man United in 1999 won the treble.

Rooney.

Just brushes off Tompkins
and goes for the spectacular!

Wayne Rooney, extraordinary!

I was lucky enough
to have played with him for England.

He is, without doubt,
one of the best players

that this country has ever had
and his records speak for itself.

Rooney is, for sure, one of the best
players England ever created.

Best striker.

It's Rooney. Oh, my word!

History!

Sir Bobby Charlton's record is gone.

And one man stands alone
for Manchester United.

Nah, listen,
the kid was a genius, man.

It's mad what he was doing.
He was an unbelievable player.

Don't get the credit he deserves.
Is he too common?

Does he look too much like a normal
geezer on the street maybe?

I dunno. He don't look like
a super star, does he?

We live in
a kind of age of individualism.

And we can see that
in Messi and in Ronaldo.

That was never the case with Rooney.
He ended up doing the work for others.

There's some race the other way

and look who's running hard
after it defensively,

Wayne Rooney...

A big collision by the captain.

That is unbelievable effort.

Fair enough, he wants to do more.

Cross-field ball! Goal!

He would fight for everything

to try and win the match.
He was the ultimate team player.

Ultimate team player.

The biggest danger
for Wayne is his focus,

the minute he stops playing football.

He's got
the sort of the Gascoigne in him.

It's like addiction.

It's addiction in a good way.

He's addicted to football. He's addicted
to adrenaline. He's addicted to buzz.

Wayne Rooney
says he wouldn't have changed

a thing after bringing to an end
his 19-year playing career.

The former England captain has been named
permanent manager of Derby County.

It's a new beginning.
I've closed one chapter in my life.

There's a lot for me to improve on,
a lot for me to learn,

and try and, you know,
give the best version of me

and then, in the long term,

to obviously try and get this club
back into the Premier League.

He's gonna need time.
It's not easy.

How do you deal with the press,
how do you deal with the pressure?

How do you deal with having
the pressure of a team on your shoulder,

a nation on your shoulder?
And Wayne can tick all those boxes.

He went for it.
He did it and he came out of it.

Uh, obviously bruised
but he came out of it

and now obviously
he needs to put that,

I dunno how he's gonna do it,

in a nice way, to be able
to be a good manager.

I know that he knows, uh, football.

He reads football. He leads.

When he decides to go
to the Championship and be a manager

and start his career from there,
it's because he loves it.

Football is and will be part of my life
till the day I die,

whether I like it or not.

Rooney! Rooney!
Rooney! Rooney! Rooney! Rooney!
