As anyone who has read my previous nonsense on this forum will know, I am not English and I do not look at all things English through rose tinted glasses, but to describe Wayne Rooney as a washed up waster is something that needs an element of scrutiny. As a player he was no world beater but very few are, he was an extremely good Premier League footballer, he wasn't good enough to make Everton, Man. Utd or England world beaters but he was good enough to get them in the shake up.
At Derby the club was dead and buried with the difficulties they had and he has done well with what he has to work with. As I say I am no Anglophile but it appears to me Wayne Rooney has done pretty well., aside from the infidelity, drinking and granny fancying, and I wish him well.
HelSket I have no idea where you are on your life's journey but I hope you are going well as I do for all Evertonians but I would caution labelling someone with Wayne Rooney's back catalogue as a fat washed waster.
