WAYNE ROONEY CAN surprise us sometimes.
Back in 2009, he claimed that he may have entered the priesthood if he hadn’t made the grade on the football pitch.
Now, in a taster for his upcoming BBC documentary ‘The Man Behind The Goals’, he’s revealed that he used to write poetry as a child.
“I used to love writing poems. Before I was with Colleen, just normal poems,” he said.
“I don’t know why, I used to like writing little stories when I first got with Colleen. I used to write a lot of poems.”
His wife then says Rooney still leaves poems for his sons Kai and Klay to read.
The documentary airs on BBC One next Tuesday, 6th October.
