I want to score in every game and win things. That's the most important thing.

Football's about the young players, bringing youth team players through to the first team and hopefully getting the best out of them so they can go on to play for their country.

If we're on long-haul flights I've been known to sleep on the floor so I hear the engine.
Wayne Rooney
Image
Those who said I'm not an out-and-out goal-scorer are probably right. I always feel I could score more.
Wayne Rooney
Image
I love playing football but I am like everyone else, I hate losing and love winning.
Wayne Rooney

If you're not scoring the frustrations build up.

Part of my preparation is I go and ask the kit man what colour we're wearing - if it's red top, white shorts, white socks or black socks. Then I lie in bed the night before the game and visualise myself scoring goals or doing well.

If you look at my bookings, they've gone down each season. That's something I'm trying to keep improving. On the pitch you don't want any silly bookings

I'd have to say Thierry Henry. From the ages of ten to 16, watching him in the Premier League was amazing and he scored all different types of goals - free-kicks, volleys, left foot, right foot. He was entertaining. He's probably the best centre-forward, I think, to play in the Premier League.

Unlike others who have been caught swearing on camera, I apologised immediately. And yet I am the only person banned for swearing. That doesn't seem right.

I love Barbados, it's really relaxing.

For me, Scholesy's the best footballer England has produced in my time. The way he controlled games, passed the ball, saw things that other players didn't see it was a pleasure to play with him and United were lucky to have him for so long.

Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not.
Wayne Rooney
Image
I don't normally cook, but if I did it probably would be beans, sausage, bacon and eggs. I never really get to eat that to be honest.
Wayne Rooney
Image
I've learnt that it is important not to go over the top with aggression, because then either you are going to miss a lot of games, or you are not going to be concentrating on the game you are playing.

Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.

There are many ways to grow football-wise. You go slow or are pushed to go faster, otherwise you get left behind. For me, there would be trouble in stopping learning.

Image
You're trying to put yourself in that moment and trying to prepare yourself, to have a 'memory' before the game. I don't know if you'd call it visualising or dreaming, but I've always done it, my whole life.

I've trained all my life. I've always been one who enjoys training so it's not something that I think I can just stop doing. It might not be as regular but I want to keep training.

I grew up an Everton fan, my whole family are Everton fans and I grew up hating Liverpool. And that hasn't changed.
