These goals meant that Rooney was Everton 's youngest - ever goalscorer at the time. On 19 October, five days before his 17th birthday, Rooney scored a last - minute winning goal against Arsenal.

It was the highest fee ever paid for a player under 20 years old ; Rooney was still only 18 when he left Everton.

On 16 February 2015, in an FA Cup match against Preston North End, Rooney was the subject of criticism for having dived to get a penalty ; United would go on to win the match 3 -- 1. Replay seemed to have shown that Rooney had n't come in contact with the goalkeeper. England manager Roy Hodgson, however, defended Rooney, saying that he was forced to take evasive action.

His first tournament action was at UEFA Euro 2004, in which he became the youngest scorer in competition history on 17 June 2004, when he scored twice in England 's second group match against Switzerland, which ended in a 3 -- 0 victory ; however, this record was topped by Swiss midfielder Johan Vonlanthen four days later. Rooney added two more goals in the competition in England 's final group match on 21 June, a 4 -- 2 win over Croatia, but subsequently suffered an injury in the quarter - final match against hosts Portugal on 24 June, and England were eliminated on penalties. After scoring four goals in four matches, Rooney was named in UEFA 's Team of the Tournament. 2006 and 2010 World Cups Following a foot injury in an April 2006 Premier League match, Rooney faced a race to fitness for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. England attempted to hasten his recovery with the use of an oxygen tent, which allowed Rooney to enter a group match against Trinidad and Tobago and start the next match against Sweden. However, he never got back into game shape and went scoreless as England bowed out in the quarter - finals, again on penalty kicks. Rooney training with England in September 2009 Rooney was red - carded in the 62nd minute of the quarter - final for stamping on Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho as both attempted to gain possession of the ball, he seemed to be pulled back by Carvalho, and then trod on his opponent 's groin as the Chelsea defender was on the floor trying to win the ball, an incident that occurred right in front of the Argentine referee Horacio Elizondo. Portugal winger ( and Rooney 's Manchester United teammate ) Cristiano Ronaldo protested his actions, and was in turn pushed by Rooney. Elizondo sent Rooney off, after which Ronaldo was seen winking at the Portugal bench. Rooney denied intentionally targeting Carvalho in a statement on 3 July, adding, `` I bear no ill feeling to Cristiano but I 'm disappointed that he chose to get involved. I suppose I do, though, have to remember that on that particular occasion we were not teammates. '' Elizondo confirmed the next day that Rooney was dismissed solely for the infraction on Carvalho. Rooney was fined CHF 5,000 for the incident. Rooney top scored for England in their 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign with nine goals ; one behind the UEFA section 's overall top goalscorer, Theofanis Gekas of Greece.

Rooney scored three goals, one against Switzerland and two against Bulgaria. In the last qualifier against Montenegro ( 2 -- 2 ), Rooney was sent off for a tackle on Miodrag Džudović in the 74th minute. It was anticipated that Rooney would miss at least one match in the opening round of the first phase at Euro 2012. After the game, Rooney sent a personal letter to UEFA in which he apologised and expressed regret for the tackle on Džudović which earned him the red card. Despite the letter, UEFA punished Rooney with a three - game ban, meaning that he could not play in any of the group stage matches. After UEFA 's announcement, Džudović stated that he believed the sentence for Rooney was too severe and that he would defend him if needed. He later asked the UEFA to pardon Rooney. The FA then decided they would appeal to UEFA against the ban. On 8 December 2011, after the FA had appealed the ban, UEFA reduced the sentence to two matches. This meant that Rooney missed the matches against France and Sweden. He was able to play in the final match of the group stage against Ukraine on 19 June 2012, scoring the only goal of the game, allowing England to progress to the quarter - finals. England were eventually knocked out in the quarter - finals against Italy, who, after a scoreless 120 minutes, won 4 -- 2 on penalties, although Rooney was able to net his spot - kick.

Later on, he showed his leadership qualities by calling player - only meetings in September 2014 to reflect on the players ' performance and discuss how they can do better as a team. Rooney said, `` Obviously the manager gives us our game plan, but because we do n't spend that much time together as a team we need to know and feel confident in what we 're doing as a team together. In the meetings, you 're having the players speak up who would n't normally speak up when coaches are there. '' On 15 November 2014, Rooney won his 100th England cap against Slovenia in a Euro 2016 qualifying match, scoring a penalty to equalise in a 3 -- 1 win. In another qualifier away to the same opponents on 14 June 2015, Rooney scored the winner with four minutes remaining for a 3 -- 2 victory, his 48th international goal putting him joint second in England 's list alongside Gary Lineker, and one behind Bobby Charlton. In his 106th England appearance, he equalled Charlton 's record of 49 goals ( also in 106 matches ) on 5 September 2015 by scoring a penalty against San Marino. On 8 September 2015, Rooney broke Charlton 's England goalscoring record, netting his 50th international goal from a penalty in a Euro 2016 qualifying match against Switzerland, at Wembley, in his 107th appearance for England, also equalling Ashley Cole as his country 's fifth - highest capped player ; this was also his 300th professional career goal.

In March 2017, Rooney had been left out of the England squad by England boss Gareth Southgate. Following Rooney 's return to Everton in July, which saw him put on a string of impressive performances, Southgate wanted to recall Rooney back to the England squad for the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. However, Rooney announced his early retirement from international football with immediate effect on 23 August 2017, snubbing Southgate 's recall. His final England appearance came on 11 November 2016 in a 3 -- 0 win over Scotland at Wembley Stadium, in which he provided the assist for the third goal, scored by Gary Cahill. Style of play Rooney, pictured with Manchester United against Celtic in the UEFA Champions League, has been praised for his teamwork and commitment Rooney is a creative, energetic forward who combines technical skill with strength and physicality, while also excelling in the air despite being 5 ft 9 ins tall. He is a versatile attacker, capable of playing anywhere along the front line ; although his preferred role is as a striker. Rooney has also been used as a supporting forward, or even as a winger. In more recent years, as his pace and movement declined as he entered his thirties, he has been deployed in a deeper, more creative role, as an attacking midfielder, or even as a central or box - to - box midfielder under former manager Louis van Gaal, due to his vision, excellent range of passing, runs forward from midfield, and team - work. A prolific goalscorer in his prime at Manchester United, Rooney is a powerful striker of the ball and an accurate finisher, who is capable of scoring goals both inside and outside the penalty area, as well as from volleys. In addition to his offensive attributes, he has been praised for his work - rate and stamina by players, managers and the media, and is highly regarded for his dedication and willingness to press opponents when possession has been lost in order to win back the ball and start attacking plays. Due to his precocious displays as a teenager, Wayne Rooney was given the nicknames `` Wazza '' ( a reference to former England international Paul `` Gazza '' Gascoigne, who was also a gifted player troubled by off - field issues ), `` The Wonder Boy '', and `` The White Pelé ''. Rooney was a fast, agile player in his youth ; however, several injuries throughout his career have affected his speed and mobility in recent years, which has led to some in the game accusing him of not quite living up to his full potential, on occasion. Despite his reputation as one of the top strikers of his generation, and as one of England 's greatest ever players and all - time leading goalscorer, Rooney has been criticised for his behaviour and aggression on the pitch at times, which has led him to pick up unnecessary bookings. Personal life In addition to Everton, Rooney also supports Celtic. He is also a supporter of the Leeds Rhinos rugby league club. Rooney, originally a boxer, still pursues the sport recreationally for stress relief. A friend of boxer Ricky Hatton, in 2007 he carried one of Hatton 's belts into the ring in his world light - welterweight title fight against José Luis Castillo in Las Vegas. The decision of Hatton ( a Manchester City fan ) to have a Manchester United striker carry the belt prompted threats of a boycott among the many Manchester City supporters who made up Hatton 's fanbase. Hatton responded, `` Nobody hates United more than me. Just because I do n't support his team does n't mean I ca n't admire what he has done. '' Rooney has a number of tattoos, including one of a Celtic cross on his arm. Family Rooney 's wife, Coleen, in October 2006 Rooney met his wife, Coleen Rooney ( née McLoughlin ), while both were at secondary school. They married on 12 June 2008 after six years of dating, during which Rooney admitted to soliciting prostitutes in Liverpool in 2004. `` I was young and stupid. It was at a time when I was very young and immature and before I had settled down with Coleen. '' He has a tattoo of the words `` Just Enough Education to Perform '', the title of an album by his favourite band, the Stereophonics ; Coleen arranged for the group to play at their wedding reception. The wedding ran into some controversy with the Catholic Church. The couple held a religious ceremony at the Abbey of Cervara, a converted monastery near Genoa, despite being warned by the local bishop 's office against the plan. The bishop 's office told the Rooneys that La Cervara is deconsecrated and not suitable for a wedding. It suggested a different church, five miles away. Nevertheless, the couple ignored the advice and Father Edward Quinn, their local Catholic priest from Croxteth, presided over the ceremony. Invited in the wedding to sing for the couple was Coleen 's favourite pop band Westlife. In April 2006, Rooney was awarded £ 100,000 in libel damages from tabloids The Sun and News of the World, who had claimed that he had assaulted Coleen in a nightclub. Rooney donated the money to charity. Rooney 's wife gave birth to a son on 2 November 2009, Kai Wayne. The couple 's second child, Klay Anthony, was born on 21 May 2013. The couple 's third child, Kit Joseph, was born on 24 January 2016. On 15 February 2018, Rooney 's wife announced on her Twitter profile the birth of their fourth son Cass Mac Rooney. Rooney 's younger brother, John Rooney, is also a professional footballer who plays for Barrow. He has previously played with Guiseley, Macclesfield Town, Barnsley and Bury, and in January 2011 signed a contract to play in Major League Soccer ( MLS ) in the United States. John was selected by the New York Red Bulls in the second round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Rooney 's cousin, Tommy, is also a footballer. Commercial interests Rooney has endorsement deals with Nike ( he is the face of their T90 Laser IV boots ), Nokia, Ford, Asda, and Coca - Cola. He appeared on six consecutive UK - version covers of Electronic Arts ' FIFA video game series from FIFA 06 to FIFA 12.

During the 2009 -- 10 season, Manchester United sold between 1.2 million and 1.5 million shirts and it is estimated that of that, Rooney 's name was printed on several hundred thousand. The account is taken from official jerseys sales across the globe, not just in England. On 9 March 2006, Rooney signed the largest sports book deal in publishing history with HarperCollins, who granted him a £ 5 million advance plus royalties for a minimum of five books to be published over a 12 - year period. The first, My Story So Far, an autobiography ghostwritten by Hunter Davies, was published after the 2006 World Cup. The second publication, The Official Wayne Rooney Annual, was aimed at the teenage market and edited by football journalist Chris Hunt. His third book, My Decade in the Premier League, was published in September 2012. In July 2006, Rooney 's lawyers went to the United Nations ' World Intellectual Property Organisation ( WIPO ) to gain ownership of the Internet domain names waynerooney.com and waynerooney.co.uk, both of which Welsh actor Huw Marshall registered in 2002. Three months later, the WIPO awarded Rooney the rights to waynerooney.com. Social media In October 2014, Rooney became the first Premier League footballer to reach ten million followers on social networking site Twitter. That same month, Rooney was the fifth most - followed footballer ( and sixth most - followed sportsperson ) globally on Twitter.

Paul Stretford controversy In July 2002, while Rooney was with Everton, agent Paul Stretford encouraged Rooney and his parents to enter the player into an eight - year contract with Proactive Sports Management. However, Rooney was already with another representation firm at the time, while Stretford 's transaction went unreported to the FA, and he was thus charged with improper conduct. Stretford alleged in his October 2004 trial that he had secretly recorded boxing promoter John Hyland and two other men threatening and attempting to blackmail him for an undisclosed percentage of Rooney 's earnings. Stretford 's case collapsed due to evidence that conflicted with his insistence that he had not signed Rooney, and on 9 July 2008, he was found guilty of `` making of false and / or misleading witness statements to police, and giving false and / or misleading testimony ''. In addition, the contract to which Stretford had signed Rooney was two years longer than the limit allowed by the FA. Stretford was fined £ 300,000 and given an 18 - month ban as a football agent, a verdict he appealed. Stretford left Proactive in 2008 and took Rooney with him. Proactive later sued Rooney, claiming £ 4.3 million in withheld commissions. In July 2010, Proactive was awarded £ 90,000 as restitution. David Moyes On 1 September 2006, Everton manager David Moyes sued Rooney for libel after the tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail published excerpts from Rooney 's 2006 autobiography that accused the manager of leaking Rooney 's reasons for leaving the club to the press. The case was settled out of court for £ 500,000 on 3 June 2008, and Rooney apologised to Moyes for `` false claims '' he had made in the book regarding the matter. Allegations of infidelity Helen Wood claims Rooney paid £ 1,000 for a threesome with her and Jennifer Thompson in a Manchester hotel while his wife was five months pregnant. It was reported his solicitors unsuccessfully tried to fight the allegations when they first surfaced in early August 2010. Drink - driving conviction On 1 September 2017, Rooney was arrested in Wilmslow by Cheshire police after being caught driving over the prescribed alcohol limit. He appeared at Stockport Magistrates ' Court on 18 September and pleaded guilty to drink driving.
