Wayne Rooney, Englands record goal scorer, is one of the most feared & respected strikers to have graced the Premier League in the last decade.

He is certainly its most famous icon, appearing on the front pages of the newspapers nearly as often as on the back. Wayne started his glittering career as a teenage wonder at Everton, the club he had staunchly supported as a boy.

A self-confessed & fiercely passionate blue-blood, Rooney was raised in Croxteth, a product of the rough district just outside the shadow of Goodison Park.

After a white-hot start, the teenager joined regional rivals, Manchester United, in a seismic transfer &, in his deeply successful time at Old Trafford, won sixteen major honours, played in three World Cups, married his childhood sweetheart & began a young family, throwing off his reputation as the gifted wild-child of English football.

This is no hagiography. Irreverent, hilarious & surprising, Rooney s Gold is a tarts-&-all biography of England s most famous sportsman & the iniquities of some of those who have sought their pound of flesh. This is the story of a boy from the mean streets of broken Britain few streets meaner than Croxteth in Liverpool lifted out of poverty by his footballing genius to play for Manchester United & Engl&. Wayne Rooney can be bad-tempered & he can use bad language, but there s no doubting his passion for the beautiful game
- & a basic, street-level sense of fair play. Rough, working class, surrounded by an unlikely crew including a controversial agent, a crooked lawyer, tarts & gangsters
- Rooney s Gold looks at the characters who have been attracted to the fabulous money Rooney gets for kicking a pig s bladder around a field. Some of them have tainted his gold. However, in the wake of a disastrous World Cup 2010, further tabloid revelations of his paying prostitutes for sex, & the comically unedifying spectacle of his grotesque contract negotiations with Manchester United in October 2010, that Rooney is perfectly capable of tarnishing his own gold.
