Wayne Rooney: Gary Neville's Soccerbox | Premier League | NBC Sports

[Music] right let's look we all started for you this is your first ever goal for Everton about a couple months before you played against me in the reserves I was right back David may was sent her back and you need me in the back and here I remember the team tour and then literally the manager come in and then his whole team talked he was guiding that was playing in the first one to do him this we literally get the bonus was that this light yeah you start and this happened a few weeks later Wayne Rooney oh he went for y'all his first goal in the Premiership ladies and gentlemen introducing 16-year old Wayne Rooney Tommy through it she moved the ball yeah and bringing it down and I'm surprised really the soul backed off and give me the space in I just thought why not have a goal and the feeling after it was just it's not I always wanted to scroll before I was 17 and this was the last game I had before 3 and 17 did you go to the youth club for him so like that mean we may choose the ball is where Colleen lives weren't there actually is playing for Theaster yeah yeah outside I always thought that you played football out to fair when you first five six years Ewing the team I was got a feeling that you're playing like a street kid yeah a lot of time used to go back and play afternoon sound like if you got Flair own lives you just you just kill this game show games that I didn't the part later on as Rooney [Applause] he's done it to ask them again takes a salute of tribes vibrant we do you think that when you're playing then the defenders even then when you young with frightened to death yes especially then because I was just so like that yeah I would have never been skillful and have been a skillful player but I just used to run at defenders and yeah dooster hater Villa ho yeah last minute left full volley Rudi boy genius at work he deserves every single letter of the publicity is getting at the moment remember this one yeah I remember every gone every go I know every ball there it has the golden touch he can do no wrong it's difficult not to go over the top about a boy who is only 17 years of age a school Cola what was your contract on you 16 how much were you on Santa man suddenly quit a plea agree the pro contract so for when I turned 17 I would roll over would you say at that time you were sent the forward or number 10 - 10 the forwards got aligned so be honest I couldn't tell you now whether I was a centerfold on I'm telling I think I just love playing anywhere along the front I always remember when he first played for England before you came to United and that there I was really being able to turn in one movement with the ball at your feet I remember playing the ball into you and you received it on your back foot and turned in one movement I was like whoa you don't see many players do that like that I wasn't surprised at signed you because I like his policy was always signed the best young English player not all air than the whales gone just to get to the goal always remember 2004 you say in the day the portal game I'm excited I'm looking forward to it so it was that huge couldn't wait to play never really thought about losing was doing confer to the big influence on your career yeah I think even an slobs when I went up on sevens faced him 16 and obviously fear he was my hero growing up used to actually love them having fun and yeah Anantha goin same them every day in a mob she'd they looked after me luck yeah was your angry in the dressing rooms there were new young when you didn't yeah yeah I had so many arguments with a mortgage money so we played in lift I started the season and then we played live pool away a name he's left me on the bench and I've just lost me he's snapped at 16 so he went look back now I'm thinking what do you say to that really say no I used to be full for arguments like you've seen in this room a United and I think some of the older lad still I can't believe what's going on boy I just wanted to play a just and especially live cool away it was just I couldn't where how why he was leaving on the ranch so did you play a little bit longer like now at all when the Parkers you've been playing mmm when you're in that big decision when you believe in habits in what clubs were in fear at the time Newcastle come in Chelsea brilliant Real Madrid were in an embossed a new shoes United really knew that was where I wanted to go and it's just the Lord of Alex legs and long to play fog folks and we was too much right this games between the best two teams in Europe at the time [Applause] the old chocolate the first weekend the premiere [Applause] as a main feature what do you think about the dressing-room make a him tonight what the difference is just the expectation to win you expected to win rather than you hoping to him I'd ever knew in a game everyone's out what was strange when you sign for Man United who's when me in a way game I was number be a big Wigan I'm thinking it's gonna be a big party and he's got the plane on and I was in everyone's gone off and done the wrong thing and place that's called always the party Luis Felipe Scolari has been given by Rafa Benitez and with straw what to expect Old Trafford technical area which he is occupying for the first time why do you think we always had a bad record in Chelsea no him my first few years paying them I hated her used to hate one stop the bridge playing them that was probably the million offer when he brought Anthony he didn't get nervous probably games did you I think it's more than like before game was it yeah and then tired to be focused myself ball modern night before get down that channel look if you conceive you there look at me he's doing this United team just won the European Cup was just the best United team that he played it yes I think we were unplayable times and think we just unfortunate the Barcelona so good otherwise I think you've had another one or two maybe Champions League winners medals bought we just saw confidence ruthless relentless and definitely the best team play them what did you make those Champions League finals his Barcelona horrible just do so hard to play against them every not to be perfect to beat them and I felt in the Champions League final in Rome you felt be approached it the wrong way we should have left them at the ball and we tried to press and leaders killed and then the one at Wembley our team winners booked them is what we was in 2000 [Applause] well I almost be back no they hate me and right back work I am your position [Applause] so it's how it's well [Applause] by using blender their post yeah that's why I lost me a slap Manchester 90 lights committed numbers for dinner passage of dry your duty she died on me a little bit you know oh yeah nom - there's no way there's no way he's gone through them tree trunk legs there's no way sir oh you have to make sure you give it sometimes you do time winner at times it's a path again [Applause] swinging by pigs three check nails and Portuguese international comrades very much enemies at old trafford today and that's a penalty is upheld sir it would be now he was like that Cavallo Lorna he was clever he's watching his boner he did you in the World Cup in there yeah I know [Applause] mistake by Macao and this right now though I'm not going to get up you asking for their humble don't know it's a JT he mastered the art of blocking shots like a goalkeeper and getting away with it was it handball no it came up his knee you always these hands are played there I've took the corner what's wrong with her it's not my fault did he know you were gonna do it a lot of talking have you told me took it there master [Applause] this is one of these I think rather take a lot of shot calm and until the linesman so the boss is knocked out in the deep it's a fairly horrible team where is the abuse that we used to keep fresh sake unbelievable really dude no it's about when you look back on you see you socially with the refs like that it looks bad did you stop the ball did you ever stop the boss the only thing I stopped it and then go all the path oh I've chopped the corner it's not very sporting is it I don't know that spawn up after business in the middle [Applause] one's gonna couch [Applause] to score from the next car don't believe but I mean the atmosphere the crowd so I think it was just before last time as well there's matter through them who gets the first header bareback you're good in the hourly yeah just to get across people so strong that's the thing when you're playing the football you watched it like 10 15 years you take for granted and everything that was that mean don't ya how good it was all the time the contest of fine margins here and she would expect [Applause] Oh Berta [Applause] have you know you've done it no I didn't even know anything and I wash sites the ball I think I've kicked it on the legs action bonks wash it - cold loads are you have us relate to his loads great finish but even then I think in Chelsea that you know you just never thought it was wondering know [Applause] brilliant huh that's a shot yeah oh yeah oh absolutely he wasn't looking sponsor anybody you think how was he shoot from there okay finish he's a great finish well I am that's it about right back frantic state between the champions just been made today so this guy Raghava you still love one of them yeah she was too far away for me to celebrate everyone used to run over in that far corner then families didn't know and for me it wasn't the room there that's Ron Barber but I just used to go and celebrate over in that bit straight impressive points for the champions and the end of Chelsea's phenomenal Hawaii record of 20 games and defeat the significant 19 minutes and old trafford which will have been watch all around the globe Manchester United 3 Chelsea mill very rarely we've got a game against Chelsea spoofer I don't remember too many Lila doing II left you thought about leaving didn't you yeah I was caught up when he left I went in to see see our affection I said to him what's going on he sold Tevez we sold Ronaldo seemed he was coming in it was no disrespect boy at the time he brought small and Jones not knowing whether they be people's enough or not and if I was going to commit myself the next five years I didn't really want to wait and become part of Alex Erickson building the team to to get there in five years time and that was out of wire I asked how did that chat go down in the door was flung he takes guts to go in and speak to him and ask he does I mean I the idea of someone going in and saying by the way ue signing it takes a lot that day yeah a lot you did everything yeah I think I just honestly I was in a position at that stage in my career where that contract was gonna be me a big one big construction I wanted to make sure it'd be right and I understand that wasn't on your business but I was just frustrated that we sold her as we solve another and was no you know what was who were bringing in to replace them I mean to fair you know things are going on I'd seen it obviously sometimes in the players up and when you think it's come into an endless no David Beckham had left when I was having his best mate so I knew that things could go wrong and you know you move on with it does one time I was disappointed in you we're just about to play a game and the night time remember yeah and you released that statement just as we were arriving in the changing room do you regret doing that that's that statement at that time yeah I think at the time you're not really it's almost like a game between you and the club oh yeah when you're you look back you say I wonder than that we're not really thinking that much you you're much reacting rather than yeah you know putting it out the right way do you remember me and Giggsy speaking to you in the gym the day after yeah oh it's so that's it's obviously tough because I think you and Giggsy obviously it's your club you've been there you supports the club in I think it's different for a player who shines and I always understand like fallen players it's really different for them to way even to what it is for me in showing then you to obviously give me a good talk and we move on a record-breaking day Old Trafford Hatchett day for you let's have a look at it underdogs as they do against United today I had to thought this was one of the worst Arsenal teams this we knew going out to this game you knew would be getting a legal deal he'll just fold is used to get in the faces then the faces make it horrible and then he went off to fight most of time it says Manchester united against Arsenal and of course that's what it is but to the context [Applause] previous clashes roundish periods you know do is Shallon players to city robbing confirm our tonight which was on earth or alien i think that was the start of a some of them believe in the club yeah kill forever I know look forward I used to look down a VA I used to love playing them yeah I'm feeling wounds as well as him his best quality when you lose the ball just win the back so quick I think was a shame because I don't think he really wanted to leave now obviously Mangala this way he wanted to to play and then got rid of Danny which was a shame so no he loves the club in middle [Applause] [Laughter] this season city of emerging work they were getting closer towards and closer to us did you get the feel in the United we were in transition at that point yeah hundred percent and I think we went through a lot of the season with you know well back Tom Cleverley Anderson we we're going through a period boy I think you've soaked hopes to win the title and it was just showed this point and obviously the way we lost therefore we definitely wearing this wins the main theme who was at the same level as what we were in 2008 [Applause] [Applause] give him a chance to get level I think penalty yeah it's a pen that was the old big strength that little run inside that right channel seventh party in the last nine games between these two this is robin van persie [Music] I think this was a massive moment for the hairless in this clear [Applause] I think this was a turning moment from air you're like a baby for two years didn't in goal I lost faith in him for a couple years I was like yeah and you had the talent I just physically I wondered well from Edwin and then went I would commend you I was looking I'm thinking there's no way he can be goalkeeper it's just like so thin smaller he still goes he struggled and strain and he went great and I'm just thinking he's not good enough to play for mine-itis but Alec fakes not faith in him and thankfully did because he's probably the best keeping the world [Applause] [Music] behind Jenkinson it could get worse very quickly sometimes the [Applause] what a goal doing well for the kibosh I think about over the years you're on the Ryan [Applause] [Music] anyone set ready to raise a group around back mobs [Applause] [Music] [Applause] scum solutely curious who that because things have been going so are you got injected it done it his injuries have been a problem for another and costing Butler how many will come up from I believe in the club for a teacher it was your best party night is have a to be when hired come D become deal I'll go higher and I think we just complement each other [Applause] we go the position and inexperience position tough afternoon Jenkinson ruler [Applause] listen not sure whether this is going to achieve will not share too so that he could move when Chesney moves and the sin locking it see who's madly mother yeah do you think you were good at free kicks sometimes [Applause] please drop those member ash claim insist what for the though at opportune I say you stop the ball it's a beautifully executed free-kick if he sees it that as it comes over the wall like she looked interested I just made another hundred great Sir Bobby Charlton I was remembering the Jessamine he never sat in the same position once did you know I was that meat locker boy where my lockers I never put my boots on there I just think it was weird so yeah you do yeah I used to sit a different place every single minute of every day and know someone yeah I used to enjoy obviously the pranks and messing around and you can't always be serious 24/7 and we've got you to be buffers so leave that to you and then we can have a bit of fun around the restroom while you're doing it I must admit I realized about 2006 it started to changed and we to be fair we were we would definitely like the most Volkl up until up but then we sat back because it's real yourself Patrice the Christian old nanny he could sends like a new spirit building it was unbelievable around that time on yeah I think what was happening we was when you sign for Man United's obviously a man you like to play a bore I think when you play in you you where how tall the club runs you actually become more minor player it's almost like we're taking over from you and Giggsy and I think that's why I'm a knight at the minute to be in sort of where we went on from use there's no one really who's gone on from back to myself three old cars and stuff about we set the fire alarm whooping loudly the whole fire brigades are out the chief chief of fire and whatever think you know it's not it's not funny really it's obviously there's like four fire in the sooner you got 200 guests out in the car and all of a sort of the fire engines were there the fire and the police were at the Jumbo number II would call me up the same who did that it was very nice remember Steve McClaren you say just tell Steve let's go and I was like where to and tell Steve yeah [Applause] shavon the chance for a so stressed honey they'd go with the salesman he's got it that's true in injury time before half-time to save that to fish no but condemned daily used to always use legs yeah too much [Applause] general crack yeah yeah he score again ass get some of the assist [Applause] ah no it's not done that one he embarrasses asking it a little bit oh I think he stays he obviously saves it for yesterday just his position doesn't move and he loses sight of the ball he tries to does the after just this position slide I mean a little bit but not that much though to some of the goalkeepers were out to beat him before they started that unsure they just when we used to practice free kicks with the Edwin Edwin never move and I'll never build you the sides and so out [Applause] they finish oh yeah some days just on play alone here some days just so frustrating nice little pass the peach through his legs yeah but do you think about if you have gigs Ian Rinaldo and he's your backup to go on either wing for wingers nanny Giggsy Ronaldo Angie you know you have different types [Applause] just United [Applause] city on goal difference [Applause] it's very near on telephone oh I was being beautiful [Applause] how many times season do you try that by the way we've got for you a little flowy ship that used to love no over the bar or on the keepers and most of the time you see at the odd it was you think on it [Applause] and looking for number six here [Applause] - brilliant play talking squad on a yeah dude while we like to compliment every all the other different movements japanese thinking that i'm thinking why did my midfield golfing from nineteen IA [Applause] his Jenkinson [Applause] Robin van Persie which he knocked him six - we actually signed robin van persie in that summer what was it like to play with him in that season I enjoyed playing Robin he was you know you went back to number 10 again early so I went to number 10 and he has a good relationship hold on I'm not a pitcher and he scores I think one of the best goals Old Trafford seen he was merciful is that yet with no use beautiful [Applause] Jenkinson the desperate challenge Rosie because the change of second got to go this was the start of what I think this is a problem that the killer characterless dead loads of players that were have a similar ilk are shoving rose it's key Ramsey walk all of a similar tight had no personality to play in these types of matches once the error went fella power so strong national so big paintings them Vieira uh so puppy massive yeah was a completely different kettle of fish [Applause] then the gaff one used to drop deep Rooney it was so first thing that I think that land that when I was got a little bit older boy to actually stay up and be a bit more patient I just gets off the state didn't want to gumball [Applause] no I used to hate parties you need to take advantage no I wonder I'd want to take them always want to take them you just get so nervous before not nervous which I used to always think if you miss even at 60 or 70 yeah it's horrible when you miss a penalty justifiably fantastic free kicks I'm a Trixie score United 8a at tricks Moody and Manchester United won they won't forget in a hurry they have shown no mercy here this was the season he's got your best Premier League goal telling 27y probably got a bit more selfish I've always not really worried about spangled me thinking was never I have two squad that I threw this I was always just playing and doing it but I got bit more selfish in score more 61 goals in three seasons with Ronaldo averaging twenty eighty four goals in three seasons after he left averaging 28 when he left he played the central striker did you feel more liberated he scored all those goals and you're not seasoned yet I knew I Hobbs the when he left back to take responsibility and and be the the one who's caused the bold so I'd know no problem at had not played as a long striker which you don't around this much yeah freshie you get more chances but I just didn't enjoy playing that long know the years when I played as a long sight if United and scored the most goals remember coming off the page thinking I don't play well well scorn everywhere and so I didn't really enjoy the games that much I thought I was Colin withers were the games where I played much better but maybe didn't score so I think I play football I have one Andrea and I think you see players like food since you see renowned all all the time he walked around and he way to the ball and then he once were three goals 4 goals his soul thinking his boxcar balls where I feel like I just want to play I want to enjoy them if goals come great my thinking's not I just want to score and more I want to enjoy the game hopefully by doing that that helps for me [Applause] it's already on the he's going to whose change feel actually this the end for likely to score anytime you wanted there were some games that you put it like I played as well it it was too easy felt little bit the end is like you don't feel sorry for them you just think it's not right this day in management in the respect of the humiliation of the scoreline [Applause] worst beginning to season with 20 years spell it out for you because you won't hear it very often Manchester United 8 Arsenal - nice ball just thanking for driving the wrong way that the ball for we eat okay these are some your best goals for United and Everton [Applause] almost invited to shooting [Applause] he's always big game for you this though on it just going back Haiti used to hate cons one field you hated going to Anfield by always remember the manager saying to you I'm not picking you on F in Merseyside ever again cuz it used to get - yeah you said I just think just the thought of losing yeah it was too much in life emotionally and similar 11 yeah he left you out actually everything there yeah after yeah he said you're a wasted time that I remember that I remember the ever after the game he said I'm not picking you here again [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he's just so angry aren't ya even like the ball after you smash it in the net yeah but I remember Sheila had so many files and the ref she wouldn't book him my throws argument I was a dead leg and I think David Bell Yan was on the side roads come off me I was just like smash it [Applause] when he first joined active Roy came was that was in biggest influence that you had it United Roy yeah no I think I love climbing Roy didn't think it surprised me I would he was gonna play a good horse getting the ball into your feet and obviously I was at the end he was clear as well boy I think Morgan tea leaves he was always one just Long Island he just started everything he was one you outlook I didn't think you know you try and be like Bowl on a home this is that counter-attack goal [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it's really [Applause] devastating that stink people actually gave you recognition for how quick you were your work quick no I don't think I look duck look boy yeah quick you were the speed that honestly weight was you Cristiano in Tevez for that two years it was unbelievable you think about the speedy Cristiano there and you're going to pass them devastate in that how would you describe their best goal one like that or a free kick or a long range drona like that when you played in that front four with like Berbatov Ronaldo Chavez did you find sometimes you had to fit around them or that you sacrifice yourself sometimes because they were sort of you know certain types of players yeah at times but I think they all had to fit nonlin algo basically and Ebru stock was EDM he's win you games so we all got back on tone a bit the defendant now doing one time whatever to go back to at the time and just to almost let him up the freshness to to come winners games and him I think you any other player I think not just a manageable was as a group allowed we will know us at the airport with him I think you have to I play directly behind him the first two seasons when he when he frustrated and he was all over the place and I find I find it difficult cuz I've been used to having like David Beckham outside me when did you sort of start to accept that okay I'm up it's a sacrifice a little bit for him because obviously he was doing it was their point where you remember and to be honest I never I think you just knew and I never thought I'm asked to do it cause he's not gonna do it but that was Pat I like going out wide I liked drifting out why I've been getting in spacing old member manager said if you if I'm there and Giggsy hands up to the middle you get back in this position he'll get back in your position so it was it was almost part of the way I played I like to go out there I like to call the middle and just defend where you finish here fifteen I think of the chance to go through two in front here without show - Rudy Wayne Rooney scores they do late trait Oh it's magnificent come back she only kissed the bad day is that because they've been booing your button your afternoon reaction - it's just a pure reactive deal to the element funds I was caught after the game after the donut bore such a big man with this yeah Chelsea played Bolton away and then to do two also this almost women's league yeah I was the first is first time this was the first one yeah it's mad but I knew Tony if it was gonna do that yeah just then you know someone you know what to do let's go go all that stop by skulls ready nanny on the gallop again he's got part with him still trying to stream back and for ready tournelle Manchester United a hundred Premier League goals at Wayne Rooney this was yours was of our best when you talk about counter-attack football I tell you it does not get any better than that they should go scored up laying it off and look at him travel just keep your eye on running keep an eye on look at that for Drive look at that for determination look at that for world I want this ball I wonder golf he's got one water bring water go [Applause] it takes him to 119 from Manchester United beating Cristiano Ronaldo I think we always wanted to game against Arsenal no one loved loved the ball and have more possession than you and which was fine we always sucked by a counter tough and beat him down I usually think when we scored a goal I shot the whole state even there it's like be like they were stunned they didn't what happened this will be one that be on your gravestone this Rooney bottled up off his knee skulls nanny [Applause] what occurred in water place water flower [Applause] honestly for the year laughter so feather people come with the picture everywhere you go you see Casilla net boy I remember the game I was so bad this woman wears games ever play think I remember I was awful and then of still got the winner one of the great goals in the history of the Manchester derby was the pitcher net there at Old Trafford on the 12th of February 2011 the best goal or not I think just the importance of a yeah bolt challenge 3 at the time one to last 10 minutes of the game to get the winner she was massive fullest women lead though another one is to a slow way some scorching pies hair with the pass for onii-chan to manchester united to wrap it up here and he doesn't fight [Applause] embarrass me dammit had asked those expense and here's the latest offering for Manchester United why keep don't go right for DeMaria when we sign you I was so excited he starts the season so well and then I think the way vanghoul wants to play he wants to plays with more discipline you demon he's a true slum play yeah but I don't think he ever settled with his family and his house copper gold and wasn't you was it oh yes did halfway lime on that is in Tompkins out of it's a wonderful [Applause] back of his hand nuts to Sodom moment that he produced all those years ago Rooney has done it in East London tonight I'd you already seen him before you turn keeper yeah yeah the whole game when I'm around get off Whelan I'm constantly looking to you where they keep their it's the fact he ends up on the floor at the end which makes it sort of slightly better at its feet sorta police brutally oh no its Berthold I don't remember this yeah just run through this is deceleration as an intriguing celebration if you've been following the use of the papers this morning what was that over and you better fight something the way Amy bother ya [Applause] that's about the video posted on the internet of a gloves on boxing affair between Wayne Rooney and there's a former Manchester United player which ended with Rooney on the back what happened that night by the way some punch it'll widen it after the game you go and play football industry they go back when we have a night however you'll go back and put the bull's eye on just just fight a sheltered life for me I used to go over a little Chinese got better I think I think it'd be really unprofessional Rebellion's go into vanghoul any when it was coming out of the paper to say video [Applause] fair use laughing new fun the earth um Brett yep alternate than their poor I think him he's obviously been I'll turn [Music] things I remember seeing it at size I don't know it's a lofty Fergie never look good these things at the time be you can look by no I think they all stops it look like him I'm out I went knocked out I got up and then we code on Barry this I think it could we live in Liverpool I think for a couple of months to fulfilling as you bar though even Swansea Oh Anthony Moscow easily away from Fernandez Marci [Applause] since it is absolutely stunning from Wayne Rooney this is quite brilliant you do you know about that I don't know yeah I tried it but I didn't know where jobs did you see anyone's woman there there's so much on this ball in his party Wayne Rooney what's a flick what a finish that probably would have done my medial ligament it would have been me but special players produce special moments like this it's the goal which makes him the outright second leading scorer in Premier League history the goal which makes him outright the second leading scorer in Manchester United's history right McCord Gold [Applause] Scalzi Joe football history he becomes the greatest goalscorer Manchester United a bit [Applause] how big was it by the way to do this yeah it was muscle for think the hold still for so long and once you get close to people talk about a constantly yeah so it was nice to get out of the way bar to get the Wreckers muscle Jesse and I didn't warn away to play the record soon goal as well that's a sucker is Shaka coming under pressure from gay [Applause] exploded onto the scene with his first Premier League goal against all he scores again how do you feel when you went back did you think then you feel like it would be like a homecoming but it felt like no I never felt it'd be a Hong Kong I think it was just you want to go back and try and help them yeah he's successful obviously grateful for the clear of other the United and but then still does that thing you need I think and just if you can find win one at once wrote a few eleven yeah west of all must go [Applause] delirium at Goodison ravine coming Bonita I was unbelievable girl she's one of them as soon as 80 a new teeth would couldn't of course her Enzo how much would you snap to the guy the way the blue hearted Wade Rooney has his ninth career hat-trick and the first for his boyhood wha in terms your England career give me your override he thought sum it up for me I'm close good so straighten I think anyone who's other England clear since 66 but all in the same boat sand no but I go I love playing finger always remember speak it's well expectant and we are big games come up and then you'd have a friendly with England and he was like play try and play for five minutes or an hour I could never gone say that I used to yeah I'll speak with the manager I'd never once we command you come on he playing for five minutes or ever and I just wanted to play every game and loved playing for me issued that people think he used to pull those out and they but didn't do he just used to say if it was a friendly you know trying to beat the manager to play for if I met or an hour like you should have this thing that if there were Chelsea players of the pool players asked all players they were all getting rested and we were all yeah no I think that's probably down it depends on the player there's nothing as you said I love playing and playing I wanted to be in 19 minutes every game and where some other players especially the ones who were bit older it might be better things to play fourth five minutes or and now or whatever so I never asked I want to play again do you think we doing that tournament in 2004 if you want of broken yeah before I believe we would I think I just felt unstoppable and sold no defender could handle me at a time and she saw this point obviously to get the the injury and I think getting in the other thing some other even I was only 18 I could feel some of the other players we're almost on that wave and riding it with you out there and think when I got injured you could

Mirror anyone?

This is a fantastic watch! I love how you can tell they're old mates. Very interesting how they speak about other squad members, especially Ronaldo. And of course Fergie!

[u/Cvein]

You can tell he really loves to play football.

Theres a line that he says in here that makes Rooney an all time great for me.

When he mentions it wasn't about him scoring goals that did it for him. It was more about how the team did with his help. He says Ronaldo was only focused on scoring goals while Rooney cared about the performance as a whole.

Loved the little tid bit about Neville and Giggsy going to see Rooney after Fergie revealed that Rooney wanted to go, and how after it all went down Rooney really regretted it

This was so insightful. Sad to hear how Rooney’s favorite strike partner was Tevez. I was so sad we sold him. Especially to shitty
