We never thought we’d see the day…
Wayne Rooney was wearing Everton blue again today, togging out for his former side for the first time since his £26million move to Manchester United in 2004.
The Toffees academy product lined out for the Merseysiders against Villarreal in the testimonial match for former team-mate Duncan Ferguson, who hung up his boots in 2006 and is now on the Everton coaching staff.
