Was a good documentary.

[@ZexaXIII]

Wayne Rooney was absolutely phenomenal in his prime. Younger generation only remembers his performances when he was past his prime. He was unstoppable in his younger days.

[@israelhm7339]

The weird thing was his prime was so early compared to everyone else. He was Evertons best player at 16 and hit his prime by like 21. The sad part was his career slowed down a lot by 27ish which is usually when the normal guys hit their prime. He was just an absolute superstar, the best English forward of my generation for sure

[@stephencooper7459]

The goal against Newcastle when he was arguing with the ref , furious then turned around ball came to him and ripped a volley in. Scored some ridiculous goals. Among his many.

I remember I was in hospital watching Wayne's debut for United against Fenerbahce. That hat-trick was magic Almost 20 years ago now

[@eXpressYourselfClips]

I'd never forget that game. The free kick was just insane. He was 18, walked over to Ryan Giggs took the ball from him and said I'm taking it. His belief was unmatched.

[@sleepindragon179]

Best bit of the interview. What a great idea to get on the pitch and close to the players after the match to dress as a photographer. Brilliant blag.

[@joshuaking1194]

Boy do we miss someone with his mentality (and quality) in the team right now

[@AdamSmith75th]

Rooney is England’s all time top goal scorer, England’s second all time most capped player, Manchester United’s all time top goal scorer, the premier leagues 2nd all time top goal scorer, 5 league titles, a champion league and he STILLLLLLLL underachieved. That is just how good this promising 16 year old was when he made his debut all those years ago. Without question the best striker England has ever had. With out question.

[@ekwejohnson6965]

It is totally unbelievable, but I can understand why. It is because of the trajectory of C Ronald's career. Robert started as the better and bigger talent.

[@AdamSmith75th]

@@ekwejohnson6965 No I think Rooney at 16-20 was a far bigger talent than Ronaldo was. At 18, Rooney was playing at a world class level. Rooney’s career is really complicated. The difference between Ronaldo and Rooney was Ronaldo’s total unwavering dedication to his lifestyle. Ronaldo lived every single day with freakish precision and micromanagement over his health and body. He went on to become consistently world-class day in day out. From 16-26 Rooney was at his best, and he really was one of the best, but he didn’t maintain the consistent lifestyle needed and didn’t look after himself nearly as well as he should have. Plus he had far more injuries and off the pitch distractions. Years ago, around 2006, I remember reading an article from a top-flight physiotherapist who said that due to Rooneys body type, he will show significant physical decline each year after the age of 30. I remember completely disagree and I thought he couldn’t be more wrong seeing how great it really was at the time. Turns out he was absolutely spot on. I don’t think Rooney had much in him physically past 31-32, but Ronaldo at 37 still clearly has fantastic physique and it’s why he continue to play top-flight football.

[@sonnydortmund1513]

Yes Sir.

[@bobbierocksbuster5584]

I'm a United fan but I think Alan Shearer might have something to say about that.

[@AdamSmith75th]

@@bobbierocksbuster5584 I’m sure people have different opinions. I think Rooney has a more decorative career and achieved more accolades on a bigger scale. They’re both stunning players though and both would’ve been so awesome together upfront

[@jvr6272]

The way Wayne amd ronnie dealt with the incident after is just so professional of them. Sir Alex really did good on players. If it was other players they would have had their ego get on their way and fall apart, but they were intelligent and guess what won the league the same season

[@colinpumpernickel2605]

I remember that defining moment: his foot injury vs Portugal 2004 euros. He was winning the competition single handedly. No exaggeration. He was never the same player after that, still exceptional but no longer that unstopple force of nature. That's football.

[@jasonthomas196]

Same as Gazza Italia 90!

[@r4h4al]

That is true. I remember watching it live it was just one of those things he turned his ankle, it happens. Such a shame.

[@r4h4al]

[@TheAnfieldLark]

Respect to Rooney for developing as a person from that tough looking kid! He comes over as a good guy and manager.

[@ukps9632]

He made the team play better towards the latter part of his Utd career. I haven't seen anyone else dictate the game from the #10 position like that. Instances where the ball should have gone sideways and backwards instead finds its way to the winger in space because his workrate gives the midfielders another option to keep the attack going, and his long passing was always excellent.

[@abhinavpathak5467]

Very underrated comment 🙏

[@marleyshibiti1624]

[@callumrowley9810]

I watched some clips of Wayne a few months back randomly on KZbin. I mean, I’m not sure where times gone...what an absolute baller. From his goal against Arsenal to being at the ground (on the wrong end!) to see him break Bobby Charltons United record. He was an absolute machine. Pace, technical ability, insane power, determination. He literally had it all and broke England’s AND United’s records for a reason. Underrated by many, hated by most...but for me he’s the greatest English player we have ever had.

[@r4h4al]

He is probably is the greatest English player we have ever had.

[@joeallen1481]

[@DClike]

In my opinion he's the most underrated player ever in the premier league, most goals for England and Manchester United at the highest level through his whole career. He's respected don't get me wrong but he is never even mentioned when people discuss the best prem players as far as ive heard which is baffling

This guy is the most underrated legend I've ever seen in my lifetime. There was a time when he was rumored in the Chelsea transfer and I was praying for him to become a chelsea player because he was nothing but a 90+ minute workhorse and we never really had that since Makelele. We were fortunate enough to have Lampard and later Fabregas who bridged the gap and made us live without that midfield playmaker. In my book rooney comes before Cristiano as a legend

Hats off to him he has matured into a humble human being from the little rebel he once was. Stats do not lie, he was a wonderful player, one of the best of a generation. and could now become a legend as a manager, is there anything he can't do? I guess he could never become manager of LFC !! even Rooney couldn't pull that one off sometimes somethings, no matter who you, are just impossible to achieve.
