Happy Birthday Wayne Rooney!

22nd October 2026

Wayne Rooney turns 41 on this October, and what a Premier League career he gave us. From bursting onto the scene at Everton to winning five league titles with Manchester United, Rooney was a player you always wanted to watch. He scored 208 Premier League goals (3rd in the all-time PL scoring record) and was named Player of the Season in 2009/10, but the numbers only tell part of the story. The spectacular finishes, the tireless running and the sheer joy of scoring made him a fans’ favourite. His birthday is the perfect excuse to revisit some of those moments, these and more available in our archive.
