Slechts één keer werden ze wereldkampioen, de uitvinders van het voetbal. Dat is inmiddels al weer 40 jaar geleden. Geoff Hurst maakte in die finale wellicht het meest betwiste doelpunt aller tijden en het was voor de Engelsen wellicht maar goed dat er toen nog geen “vijfde official” bestond. Sindsdien snakt Engeland naar nieuw succes, maar steeds komt het er niet van. De Zweedse bondscoach Sven-Göran Eriksson vertrekt na dit WK en zal er alles voor over hebben om met een wereldtitel afscheid te nemen. Het zou de vele jaren waarin de Engelse pers wroette in de diepste krochten van zijn privé leven ineens de moeite waard maken én het zou zijn astronomische salaris alsnog rechtvaardigen. Of Eriksson gaat slagen in zijn missie is nog maar de vraag. Engeland kwalificeerde zich uiteindelijk nog redelijk eenvoudig en heeft zeker een ploeg om rekening mee te houden. Anderzijds worden de topteams Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool en Manchester United grotendeels gedragen door buitenlanders. Eriksson moet zijn internationals dan ook vooral bij kleinere ploegen vandaan halen. Die zijn vaak toch wat minder. Spelers als John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard en Frank Lampard horen zonder twijfel bij de wereldtop. Dit geldt ook voor spits Wayne Rooney, maar de grote hoop van het Engelse voetbal kampt men een blessure en is ineens onzeker geworden voor het WK. Ook zijn collega, voormalig “boy wonder” Michael Owen is verre van fit. Als Eriksson het voorin met zijn tweede garnituur moet stellen, lijkt het uitgesloten dat de Engelsen een gooi naar de wereldtitel kunnen doen. Het is dan ook niet verwonderlijk dat heel Engeland nagelbijtend afwacht of Rooney tijdig fit wordt. Alleen dan een favoriet, anders niet meer dan een outsider.

Wayne Mark Rooney (born 24 October 1985 in Liverpool) is widely considered to be one of the leading young talents in world football - in September 2005 he was selected by his fellow professionals as the inaugural FIFPro World Young Player of the Year. He currently plays for Manchester United and the England national football team as a second striker, although the 2005-06 season has seen Rooney playing both centrally and on the left and right flanks. He wears the number 8 shirt for his club, vacated by Nicky Butt, and is generally given the number 9 for his country.

Rooney was brought up in a rough urban area of eastern Liverpool called Croxteth, where he and his two brothers attended the local Christian Brothers De La Salle school.

Although he has been under an intense media spotlight since first arriving on the scene in 2002, it was not until his performances at the Euro 2004 that he gained a reputation on the world stage, as he spearheaded the English attack, scoring 4 goals. England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson compared his impact to that made by the legendary Brazilian, Pelé at a similar age during the 1958 World Cup. This comparison has led to him being nicknamed "El Blanco Pelé" - the white Pelé - by some fans.

Career


[edit]
Premiership breakthrough
Rooney gained national prominence in October 2002 when he became the youngest goal scorer in the history of the Premiership at 16 years and 360 days of age, while playing for Everton F.C. His spectacular goal against Arsenal was a last-minute winner. At the end of 2002 he won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Young Personality award.

This record has since been surpassed twice; first by James Milner, aged 16 yrs 357 days, while playing for Leeds United F.C. on December 26, 2003; second by James Vaughan, aged 16 yrs 271 days while playing for Everton F.C. on April 10, 2005, making him the youngest Premiership goal scorer to date.

[edit]
England career
He has also figured prominently in recent England international matches, after having become the youngest ever player to play for England, in a friendly against Australia, on February 12, 2003, aged 17 years, 111 days. England's youngest ever player previous to this was James F. M. Prinsep of Clapham Rovers, who made his debut almost one and a quarter centuries before, on April 5, 1879, aged 17 years, 253 days.

Rooney is also the youngest England scorer ever (17 years, 317 days). In 2004, Rooney became the youngest player ever to score in the European Football Championships on 17 June 2004 when he scored twice against Switzerland; however the Swiss player, Johan Vonlanthen, broke this record against France four days later. However, Rooney was injured in the quarter finals against Portugal - England were subsequently knocked out. As of 2 March 2006, he has played for England 29 times and has scored 11 international goals.

[edit]
World Cup 2006 doubts
There is concern for Rooney's fitness ahead of the upcoming World Cup after he fractured the base of the fourth metatarsal on his right foot during Manchester United's 3-0 defeat away at Chelsea on April 29, 2006, putting him out of action for six weeks [1]. However, a similar injury at Euro 2004 took up to 10 weeks for him to recover. England's first game is against Paraguay on June 10, casting serious doubts as to whether he will make the start of the World Cup, or even be able to play at all.

[edit]
Transfers
Before turning 17 and becoming eligible for a professional contract, he was playing for £100 a week and living with his family on a council estate. Now, the teenage sensation has raised that several times and earns an estimated £50,000 (¤73,500 / $90,000) a week. Following intense media coverage of Rooney at the 2004 European Championships, Everton claimed that they would not transfer his contract for less than £50 million. The club offered Rooney a new contract for £50,000 a week. This, however, was turned down by Rooney on the 27 August 2004, leaving Manchester United and Newcastle United to battle for his services.

The Times newspaper reported rumours that Newcastle's initial bid was made at the request of Rooney's agent, who eventually made £1.5 million from the deal and employs the son of the Newcastle United chairman. This bid was intended to force Manchester United to try to buy the player a year earlier than they had planned. In any event, the Newcastle United bid succeeded in forcing Manchester United to enter the bidding. Rooney handed in a transfer request to Everton and on 31 August 2004 Rooney signed for Manchester United after a deal worth up to £27 million was agreed. The deal took place rapidly, and was concluded just hours before the transfer deadline.

The initial fee of £23m is to be paid directly to Everton Football Club over two years; the rest of the money depends on appearances and/or success at Manchester United and/or England. It is unlikely the fee will reach the maximum £27m due to the complex nature of the contract drawn up by the two clubs. A final fee in the region of £25m plus costs (mainly agents' fees) is more likely. In the club's 2004-05 accounts, Rooney's contract is recorded as having a book cost of £25.066 million as at 30 June 2005, with contingent payables of £4 million, giving a maximum final fee of £29.066 million including costs. [2]

Rooney's transfer fee is the second highest for an exclusively British deal, with only his Manchester United team-mate, Rio Ferdinand, commanding a higher fee. Rooney does, however, have the honour of being the most expensive teenage footballer ever, being only 18 when Manchester United signed him.

Rooney made his début for the club on 28 September 2004 in the UEFA Champions League against Fenerbahçe, scoring a hat-trick and also an assist (the match finished in a 6-2 win for United). For the 2005-06 season, Rooney initially started playing in wider positions than his more favoured central role. Pundits and fans alike agreed that he seemed less effective in such positions, and eventually, after Manchester United's poor run of form early in the season. Sir Alex Ferguson moved him back to his stronger position, playing behind Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy as a second striker. He got his first professional Winners Medal in the 2006 English League Cup. He was also named the Man of The Match in the Carling Cup final against Wigan Athletic, after scoring 2 goals in the final (a 4-0 victory for United), en route to winning his first senior medal. He was also a member of the United side defeated on penalties in the 2005 FA Cup final by Arsenal F.C..

[edit]
Disciplinary issues
Rooney is also known for his hot temper and ill-discipline on the pitch. In September 2005, against Northern Ireland Rooney launched an on-field outburst at England captain David Beckham, but since then, the pair have played down the bust-up.

His temper problems also came to the forefront in the 0-0 draw with Villarreal during United's Champion's League encounter in Spain. Rooney was sent off for dissent after he sarcastically applauded the referee, Kim Milton Nielsen after he was initially booked.

Rooney has pledged to keep his temper under control and both his club and international managers have defended him, citing his youth as the main reason for his behaviour. It is known that other teams and players are familiar with Rooney's disciplinary problems and sometimes use them against him, teasing him or provoking him. Since the 2004-05 season he has been trying to keep his temper in check, as shown by a drop in cards received so far in the 2005-06 season.

[edit]
Personal life
Rooney has rarely been out of the media spotlight since his emergence, and has received criticism for his relationship with fiancée Coleen McLoughlin, who is often featured in the tabloid press for her shopping habits.

Rooney's personal life has also often been marred by accusations from the press surrounding his visits to aging prostitutes, which he later unequivocally confirmed. [3]

In April 2006, newspapers suggested that he owed in excess of £700,000 in gambling debts [4], possibly connected to a business partner of Michael Owen [5]. Days later, he accepted £100,000 (which he donated to charity) in libel damages from The Sun and News of the World newspapers which had claimed he had assaulted his fiancée in a nightclub. [6]

[edit]
Charity work
Rooney has often been involved in raising money for Claire House and Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, and is also noted for his role as ambassador for SOS Children UK. As a member of the Manchester United side, he also takes part in charity and promotional work for UNICEF.

[edit]
Publishing deal
On 9 March 2006 Rooney signed the largest sports book deal in publishing history with the publishers HarperCollins. He is to receive a £5 million advance, plus royalties, for a minimum of five books to be published over a twelve-year period. The first book, an autobiography, is scheduled to be published after the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

[edit]
Trivia
The April 18, 2006 issue of the respected German soccer magazine kicker featured an article about Rooney (p. 79 and 80), and following facts were presented:

Rooney has signed lucrative contracts with Nike, Nokia, Ford and Coca Cola. His marketing value is estimated at 46 million Euro, making him the third-highest rated soccer player behind Ronaldinho and David Beckham. As a side note, he is featured on 500 million Coca-Cola cans.
Rooney's (yet to be published) autobiography earned him a record advance payment of 7,5 million Euro.
When he moved to Manchester United and was told to find a home in the posh area of Cheshire, Rooney passed a pub which he thought was named "Admiral Rooney" and saw it as a good omen for his future home. It actually was "Admiral Rodney", but Rooney chose the place anyway.
His favourite foods are spaghetti, salad, sausages, chips and baked beans, and his favourite drink is Cola Light.
Rooney's favourite musicians are Welsh band, the Stereophonics and rappers Eminem and Kanye West. His favourite movie is Grease, and his favourite TV series is Only Fools And Horses. Moreover, he is an avid reader of Harry Potter.
He enjoys boxing, and idolizes Mike Tyson.
Footballers' Wives character Callum Watson is based directly on Wayne Rooney. Elements of Rooney can also be found in characters Darius Fry and Harley Lawson.
The Daily Mirror "Scorer" cartoon strip features a young, brash, anti-social character called Wayne Sutton, based in part on Rooney's on-field antics.

Ik zag vanmorgen een stukje in de krant met een lijstje van Engelse spelers met dezelfde blessure als Rooney en de herstelperiode. Het kortst was die periode bij Beckham, die er in 2002 9 weken over deed. Dus het wk lijkt Rooney te kunnen vergeten.

De eerste speler die bij mij op komt is Vassel maar die is volgens mij lang niet goed genoeg En Alan Smith misschien ooh nee die is ook al gebleseerd

Engeland zonder Rooney is beter dan met Rooney....
Rooney breekt Engeland op door een domme rode kaart door zijn heethoofd gedrag..en daar spelen landen handig op in. Tis een risicogebied, net als bijv. Cocu, Heitinga en v.Bommel voor Oranje (en lange tijd davids...)

Wat een onzin. Zonder Rooney heeft Engeland geen enkele creativiteit voorin. Echt een aderlating voor dat team. En dat halen van domme rode kaarten is ook allang achterhaald. Dat valt tegenwoordig heel erg mee.
