Wayne Rooney will return to the familiar surroundings of the Wembley Stadium as part of the reporting on the FA Cup final between Manchester City and Crystal Palace.

The former striker of Manchester United is no stranger to the home of English football, after winning seven trophies – including a FA Cup – in the stadium in the course of his glittering career, and regularly played for England, for which he scored 53 goals in 20 games before retiring in 2018.

In addition to the two league cups and four community -shields, which he also won in Wembley, Rooney has five Premier League titles in his name as well as a former Champions League and Europa League winner. He is considered one of the best British players of all time and also ended his career as the third highest scorer of the Premier League of all time after he had created 208.

Rooney has had a rocky start to management since his retirement and has lost four jobs with Derby County, DC United and Birmingham City in two years with a spell with Plyyle, who released him after only seven months in December last year.

While he has not ruled out any return to management in the near future, Rooney has also borrowed the expert since his boots hanging up and will now take on Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and Glenn Murray, while Gary Lineker concludes the BBC reporting on the final.

The 39-year-old remains a respected figure among football fans for everything he has achieved on the field, but in recent years he has also made the headlines in his private life, and not always for the right reasons. You need to know the following.

Fraud allegations

Rooney has been married to his sweetheart from childhood since 2008 after meeting in the secondary school and began dating when they were both 16 years old.

She was by his side when he climbed to the superstardy as a teenager, and they had four sons – Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass – together.

However, their relationship was anything but smooth sailing, and over the years, the couple shaked several scandals and allegations about the alleged infidelity of the footballer.

Before they were married, Rooney should have paid sex with a prostitute in a brothel more than once. This behavior was allegedly continued after her wedding day.

The Premier League icon supposedly slept with another prostitute, while Coleen was pregnant with Kai and caused it to pull the family with the baby and move into the house of her parents

However, while Coleen said goodbye, more accusations of fraud later appeared in his career after he was arrested in 2017 for drinking.

Rooney was caught behind the wheel of a car that was heard by Laura Simpson's office worker, which he had previously met in a bar that night and – as she later claimed – had a “kiss and cuddle with”.

The mother of One also claimed that they had “undoubtedly” pulled out of the house with a broken heart Coleen.

Coleen remembered the difficult time and later said: “I had a few times in my stomach and I would never wish anyone feels. They think I actually know this person when things like that happen.

“You know, 'they are not the person I have married, and the person I want to be.' He just said, “I'm sorry that I'm sorry.”

“I was only with a broken heart,” she added. “I just said I couldn't stay in the house and I went and stayed in my mother with the children.”

In the meantime, Rooney said: “Of course she was not happy. But if I'm honest, I can't even remember having spoken to the girl in the bar [her] before in my life.

“So there was never any speech that something would happen or something would happen. You know, I drive another girl's car and she is sitting in the passenger seat, it doesn't look great. I know what it was. But I also know what it looked like.”

However, Coleen decided to hold on to her husband and admitted during her appearance last year I am a celebrity … get out of here! That the couple is “now” after gluing together.

“Since the first mistake he made, it has not been forgiven in public,” she said. “When things happened, the public wanted it to be just shared, they know, that's it, share them. But the fact is that it still gave love.”

“It was difficult, but we are happy after all these years … We are a team.”

Shock career -Change plan

In 2019, Coleen also made the headlines in an infamous manner when she accused Rebekah Vardy – the wife of the Leicester striker Jamie – in which, what later became known as 'Wagatha Christie', stories about her admitted.

The well -known dispute arose when Coleen claimed on social media that Vardy had secretly operated an Instagram account that had leaked contributions from her private account directly to the Sun newspaper.

In order to confirm her suspicion, she said that she deliberately published stories in her account and restricted her so that only Vardy's account could show her before she was to see whether she later appeared in the press.

In an explanation of X, she wrote: “For a few years now, someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has consistently informed the newspaper of Sun about my private contributions and stories. So much information about me, my friends and my family – everything without my permission or knowledge.

She added: “It was difficult to keep it for myself and not make a comment at all, especially if the stories have been leaked, but I had to. Now I know from which account/individual it comes from. I saved all the original stories and made screenshotte who clearly saw only one person … Rebekah Vardys account.”

The following year, however, Vardy Coleen sued for defamation, whereby the case was brought to trial in May 2022 before the English High Court.

In the strongly documented negotiation, Vardy's court stated that it was “essentially true” that she had forwarded Coleen's private information to the press.

In the events of the process, however, almost the football -Ikon -Rooney -who visited the court with his wife, to support her, to completely change the career, was fully changed by the trama of the courtroom.

In the Disney+ documentary about the process, Rooney admitted: “It was interesting because I like crime films and especially the various techniques that the two lawyers used”, while Coleen was added that her husband “would then apply for a legal faculty and had all these plans”.

Paul Lunt, the lawyer of Coleen, agreed and added: “I don't say that he is a modern columbo, but if we had given him a dress and a wig, he was in favor of asking a few questions.”

In the meantime, his colleague Jamie Hurworth noticed: “When the day was finished, we would have a little debriefing with Wayne and Coleen. [He] Suggestions for legal argument that we should start running. “

Rooney later gave in an episode of Stay in football I was there with the lawyer that he had applied for his studies for studying at Nottingham University and explained: “When Coleen had the Court of Court at Rebekah Vardy, and told the lawyer:” You have to ask this question. “

“I applied – it was at Nottingham University – I applied to try and study, but then I went away. I want to do it to get one of these wigs!”

Football prodigy son

Rooney's son Kai will follow in his feet after having torn it up for Manchester United's youth teams.

After his father undertook more than 500 appearances for United and becomes her all-time record scorer, Kai has a long way to put his legacy in the shade, but the 15-year-old has impressed the coach since he came to the Red Devils in 2020.

Of course, he received a lot of guidance from his father, as he explained: “It is a lot about goals because he was pretty good at scoring goals. So it is mainly tips on it. He prepares me to get me into professional football with the right mentality.”

Kai revealed his preferred position on the field: “I could also play on the wing, but I'm mainly a striker who scores goals,” he said.

In the meantime, Rooney Senior The Athletic told more details about his son's early career, as he said: “He enjoys it. This is the most important thing. He does everything to try to make a career in football, and not just him, also my other children. They love the game and my advice – for every children – the game is to be enjoyed.

“There is so much pressure when you come to the professional level, and sometimes you forget why you play the game. You play because you love to play the game and play the game.”

Coleen also unveiled the mirror: “We never played them to football. We only always made them decide what they wanted to do. My eight -year -old played and really good, but then he decided that he didn't want it, and that's okay.

“I think you sometimes get pressure on other people, you know. People come to you from time to time when we are on the road, you say:” Are you as good as your father? “

“You have to let you know that you don't have to follow and have to be your own person.”
