Has Rooney lived up to the hype?

    good article.


    "David Weir, another of that Everton team now working with the Goodison reserves, recalls how Rooney was "in awe of Duncan Ferguson" and, like his boyhood hero, "had a little nasty streak which showed itself occasionally, which is always a good thing for a footballer". Yet, contrary to some people's preconceptions of Rooney, he was "very respectful" as well.

    More than anything, it was his love of the game that shone through. "He was always first out and last in, he'd always be practising his shooting and free-kicks, and you'd see him in goal as well. He'd do everything. He looked like a kid who liked football – a lot of the younger lads now like being a footballer whereas he genuinely likes football. He can play a lot of positions and genuinely thinks he can be good in a lot of them""
