    Anyone watched his documentary on Prime?

    You forget how bloody good he was at the start of his career.

    can’t forget how good he was, what he also sacrificed at United by not being the main man. Doing the running for others.

    never see a player with that much natural talent again. Last of the street footballers, rest are all academy robots.

    Sorry but that's just silly. Fifa kids say **** like that about ronny and messi.

    Talking like Rooney was the goat or summin. He was one of the best for a small amount of time in a dominant utd side. Nothing more, done nothing internationaly in comps either.

    Never see his like again<laugh> stfu peej

    Good player, but definitely patchy.... Was in a great side most his career so wouldn't have expected the patches

    Shearer rejected them I know who the better striker was. No crying just my honest assessment.

    Better striker, not a better player. Don’t think Rooney was patchy at all. He did fade away quicker at the end of his career, but still was a cracking player.

    seen clips and quotes about his life in the papers, not so much about the footballing side more about his shagging about and his relationship with Colleen and drinking. TBF it looks quite interesting but I ain't got Prime.

    Obviously you've forgotten not me then mate. He was definitely patchy.

    Great player I never disputed that, but I suspect when he was shagging granny's and worrying about his hair piece falling off it effected his performances

    To be fair, that’s the advertising. It’s more about the start of his career then rushes through from 2010 to retirement

    No, for a short time he was very good. In one of the best sides under one of the best managers the games ever seen.

    But to say we'll never see anyone again with his natural talent is hilarious fanboy **** quite frankly.

    England fanboys will say he was an all time great yet he done **** all for them bar tell them to **** off on camera so whatevs <laugh>

    Just said that people forget how good he was. Even goes into talking into how good he was for England at the start of his career. He was injured in 06 and 10 but kept those injuries quiet just because he wanted to play.

    He coulda been better imho, but him/Fergie let ronny take the lead and Rooney seemed happy to carry his water for years til he snaked him at the wc <laugh>

    Shame real cos when he started out he had that selfish streak in his character to be the best cos he Knew he was levels, lost that when he let ronny be number 1

    You compared him to Haye… who moaned about an injury afterwards.

    Rooney went into the 06 World Cup with 3 broken bones in his foot and it was well known as he was stretchered off against Chelsea.
