Wayne Rooney: Captain of England (Large Print 16pt)

By Matt Oldfield and Tom Oldfield

As "Captain Fantastic" of Manchester United and England, Wayne Rooney bears the weight of expectancy from the world s two most demanding fan groups. He is the most iconic, instantly recognizable player in the most star-studded league of them all. How did this formerly hot-headed wild-child manage to control his temper, learn to live with the world s expectation and become a leader against all the odds? Countless world class goals and the most natural talent in a British player since Paul Gascoigne have made him a global superstar. But the admirable way he has matured, grown as a man and led Manchester United through their toughest patch for 20 years has won him the respect of millions."
