Wayne Rooney Profile

Player Profile

Wayne Rooney was born on October 24th 1985 in Liverpool. A wonderful, natural talent, Wayne combines remarkable skill with a boxer's strength and vision beyond his years. Although a striker, he does his best work from deep, using his strength and close control to run at defenders while his vision creates openings for others.

Rooney was signed by Everton shortly before his 11th birthday and made his senior Everton FC debut in August 2002. His first league goal came in October 2002 when he became the youngest goal scorer in the history of the Premier League at 16 years and 360 days. On 2004 summer transfer deadline day he completed a move to Manchester United for £20m rising to a possible £30m. Yet becoming the world’s most expensive teenager did little to phase him.

He marked his United debut with a UEFA Champions League hat-trick against Fenerbahçe SK and has continued to perform at a stunning level. In his second season, he netted 19 goals in 48 matches, striking twice in the 2006 League Cup final win against Wigan Athletic FC. It was a contribution that saw him named both Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year by fans and PFA Young Player of the Year for the second time.

Wayne Rooney became England's youngest player when, at 17 years and 111 days, he played against Australia in February 2003. In his first competitive appearance, against Turkey, and still just 17, he became his country's youngest scorer.
