Wayne Rooney | Sacked as Birmingham City Manager
- Thread starter FujiVice
- Start date
It was me and the missus, it was the first game she had ever saw at Old Trafford.Lucky man/woman! I was down at the pub... what a goal
Guess what the second game she went to was? The Arsenal 8-2!!
Imagine seeing those two as your first experiences at OT. It’s all downhill from there
Respect! Legend!
I'm only a few months older than Rooney feels weird, can't really explain it, to have watched the 'Rememeber the name..." moment, right throught to now fully retiring and becoming a manager. Even the goal against Arsenal in 2002 doesnt seem like nearly 19 years ago
What a player though!

Maybe do something with her this coming Sunday...?One of our greatest ever for club and country.
Hope he will be just as successful in his managerial career and be back at Old Trafford.
Obviously I hope he stops starting every sentence with the word Obviously.

Hope he does a good job and can get as much experience as he can. He can definitely become an interesting figure as a manger if he's successful enough.Mental that he’s Derby manager
Fair play and good luck to him I say. Sounds like a very difficult time to be manager there with the financial and ownership issues they’re facing. Fingers crossed he does well. Would be brilliant to see him get them promoted but seems a tough ask at this moment.
I wish, we’ve had three kids since then, all under five. Haven’t been to OT for a while unfortunately Sure none of us are allowed there Sunday. Get the crowd behind the TV at 16:00
Our Wazza! Absolute legend. Wishing him well as he sets out on the management path. Who knows...
Oh for sure, the whole squad will be sat in front of the tv. Full kit w@nkers all five of usSure none of us are allowed there Sunday. Get the crowd behind the TV at 16:00
He always seemed too shy off the pitch for management, to me, but he must've grown out of that.
Absolute legend of the game. Hope he does well.
Ferociously competitive who played football with a unique boyish enthusiasm most of his career, just a savage footballer who deserves nothing but respect from United fans and proper Football fans alike for his multiple achievements. How much would he be worth in today's crazy market? The mind boggles. Insanely talented at 18
Rooney was a generational talent, why wasn't every top team in the country and abroad after him?
What a great side that is. The best kit as well, love that strip, reminds me of Ronnie at his best for us.
Farcically good squad. Imagine if we'd kept it together
Been watching 06-10 highlights on youtube recently and what struck me is how he was involved with near enough every goal. Ronaldo gets the plaudits from that era but whenever I was at OT it was usually Rooney who impressed me most. Gave 100% every game
Tevez still plays
My favourite player for the longest time, a teenage Wayne Rooney was one of the things that made me fall in love with football. Surreal to think of him retiring.
Never thought he would go into management either (though coaching made sense) so will be very interesting to see how he does.

I was there, in the Stetford end, to see it, thanks to a member of this forum getting me a ticket.
Hope he smashes it in management. Loves his football and came across well as a pundit - and done a decent job so far in his temp spell in charge.
I have to admit that I gave him a lot of well-deserved shit, mostly after the first transfer request and the years that followed. He undoubtedly had his downs over the years. That being said, I would kill to have a prime Rooney at the club now. He'd win us the league for sure. Absolutely spectacular player at his best, and it was an honour to watch him wear the shirt. Some of the goals he scored are still among my favourite of all time, and his debut is probably the most excited I have ever been as a United fan. The glorious years that followed seemed almost inevitable then.
Wish him all the best in retirement and hope he does well with Derby.

Gave him a lot of shit, probably the most I’ve given a player. I thought he fluctuated far too much, from unreal to liability. Odd to say despite his records I never thought he was overly consistent but it didn’t matter all that much.
Hope he does well at Derby but it seems a tough task

What an absolutely fantastic player who has given me some amazing memories.
Thank you Wayne!
Thank you Wayne!
me too in the east end. as someone from abroad who only has the chance to go for one game per season max i was quite lucky in those days. the spurs 5-2 08/09 was my first game at OT.

I’d give one of my disconnected bollocks to have a peak Wayne Rooney in the team at the moment.
He was so bad by the end here that I think people forget what he was like when he was at his peak. I sometimes forget too to be fair.
Absolutely phenomenal player in his prime, everything you'd ever want in a Utd player.
Speed, power, bravery, bit of a snide edge. Just brilliant.

Bad start to the permanent reign. Needs that takeover to conclude so he can bring some bodies in.
What a career, full of trophies and records broken.
This was the third United game I had been to. Seeing that live is something I’ll never forget.

Maybe we can have a loan link with Derby now. Rooney might use the good relationship with the club to get some loans in from our U23s.
Was keeping an eye on the score today in the Derby v Rotherham game. Pity he couldn't get a result. I'll be keeping an eye on their results now and tuning in to watch them when they're on, if I'm free to. I really hope he does a great job.
Glad I don’t have your eyes
What a player Wazza was. God imagine signing an 18 year old Rooney now. Thanks for everything Wayne. Feel really old that you’ve retired from playing.
I had a moment with a relative of one of our admins, when that went in. A moment of the purest love I've ever felt.
My all time favorite Man Utd player. Sure, I hated him for a few months in 2010, but IIRC that City rumour was nothing but a rumour. He really wanted to go to Barca. We sold Ronaldo and got Valencia and Owen. Year later we got Obertan, Bebe and Chicharito. We all thought we were not able to win trophies.
Just like all of us, he thought we needed to invest in the squad, but like we all did, he admitted he was wrong.
And IIRC he even signed the same contract he had rejected earlier, so it was never about money, henjust wanted tonwin trophies.
I was angry just like anyone else in 2010, but that fecker has brought me so much joy in the past, I love him.
Rooney in his prime was the best player this league has ever seen.
