Maybe some day, Wayne Rooney will make it onto the leaving cert syllabus.
The Manchester United star revealed that he has a hobby that the majority of his teammates probably don’t share with him – writing poetry.
Rooney opened up to the Manchester Evening News about how he has been a poet for years.
“I used to love writing poems, even before I was with Coleen,”
“I don’t know why, I used to like to write little stories too. So when I first got with Coleen I used to write her lots of poems. They have died down a bit of late.”
So there are two possibilities here. Either Rooney has a hidden romantic soul and has produced works of art that would surprise us all or his poems read like they were written by a professional footballer.
Maybe his mother-in-law can give us some indication…
“He loved her, you could see it. He proposed at the petrol station. They were supposed to go for a meal somewhere but he couldn’t wait. So I think he must have got the engagement ring out at the petrol station. They never went out for the meal. They came home and had corned beef hash.”
Poetic.
