Rooney is sued by Moyes over
book
David Moyes claims that his reputation has been harmed
England footballer Wayne Rooney is being sued by ex-manager David
Moyes over comments made in the striker's autobiography "My Story
So Far".
In a writ issued at the High Court, Everton boss Moyes claimed the
book had "injured his professional and personal reputation" and
caused him distress.
Moyes is objecting to an account of how Rooney came to leave
Everton.
Libel proceedings have also been issued against the book's author
Hunter Davies and publishers Harper Collins.
If the writ is not settled the case will go before the High
Court.
Moyes has asked for an injunction preventing the offending passage
of the book from being published again.
A spokesman for Rooney refused to comment on the proceedings and
Moyes's solicitor was unavailable.
