In one of the historical pages of the Premier League, the name of Wayne Rooney is engraved, who knew how to shine with goals throughout his professional career. The former soccer player accumulated 208 celebrations in the English League, wearing the shirts of Everton and Manchester United, and became the second highest scorer in the history of the tournament.

Throughout his time inside the box, the former player was characterized by his great temperament, for which he was nicknamed ‘Bad Boy’. Due to that type of personality, in addition to his talent on the ball, the former England international also earned the respect of all sports fans in his country.

Precisely, Wayne, at 36 years old, will have the opportunity to reveal details of his life to fans through the documentary of his career, which has been titled ‘Rooney’. The visual product will be broadcast on the Amazon Prime platform and in recent days some excerpts of the content have been published.

One of the most outstanding passages narrated by the former striker occurred during his stay at Manchester United, although the comment was not very positive. According to what was explained by the now Derby County manager, he decided to jump onto the grass of Stamford Bridge with the intention of injuring the Chelsea players, in a key game for the title.

I went out to the field with the heels of the boots longer than those I usually used. It made me angry that they were going to win the league and I had the goal of hurting the opposing players”, reported the ‘Bad Boy’.

Finally, the controversial anecdote did not have a positive outcome for Wayne Rooney: Chelsea thrashed Manchester United 3-0, and was proclaimed champion of the Premier League; and the former attacker had to be replaced due to injury. Without a doubt, the English legend will cause a stir with his stories.
