He broke Bobby Charlton's goal record for Man U today too!

Re: Wayne Rooney raises £1.2 million for charity

Even though it hurts me to say it.......he's been pretty remarkable for Man U.

I've been to quite a few charity events which he's been involved in.
He's known for helping his local village team.......it's rumoured that he gave them £ 20k for repairs to pitch and changing rooms.

Hi

My personal experience of Rooney has not been good.

Admittedly, it was very short, less than 2 minutes talking to him, then an awkward 3 hours at a function at The Lowry in Manchester.

An argument over a car parking space.

An arrogant little git, the who do you know who I am sort of thing.

Absolutely no time for the man at all.

He put the health of the mother of his kids at risk by using a prostitute.

Not my type of man at all.

I suppose it's how you catch people .
I have heard nothing but good of him that he's not arrogant at all and does a lot for charity .

Re: Wayne Rooney raises £1.2 million for charity

Parking brings out the worst in many people and we all have off days, his infidelity is for his wife to judge again we have no idea what was going on in their lives at the time. At least he paid and unlike some footballers didn't just rape.

I say well done to him, his wife does a lot for charity too as I understand it.

Hi

I am obviously in a minority here.

I am a one woman type of man, sleeping with a prostitute is just not something that I would do, it would be a betrayal.

Re: Wayne Rooney raises £1.2 million for charity

It's really a matter between them.
His wife didn't leave him and went on to give him more children
I know several people whose husbands betrayed them yet they are still together decades later.
as one women said of her several times unfaithful husband -I still like him .

Re: Wayne Rooney raises £1.2 million for charity

Very true muddy we none of us know why he did it. I've always said if mine strayed I'd forgive it's not his fault my disability took this form, I doubt he would but I'd understand if he did.

Re: Wayne Rooney raises £1.2 million for charity

He was going through a bad patch. ......as a City fan I was glad he was scoring off the pitch and not on it
