Best of enemies: Wayne Rooney tweeted a picture of him
on holiday with Andy Carroll, and the message, 'Me and big andy
[sic] Carroll chilling at the bar oooossssshhhhh'
Lads on tour: Wayne Rooney and Andy Carroll were joined
by former Scotland international Gary McAllister in Barbados
Wayne Rooney, born and
raised Evertonian and superstar striker for Manchester United. He
is the perfect storm of hatred for Liverpool fans. Funny then, to
see the England man enjoying a beach holiday with none other than
new Kop idol, Andy Carroll.
The pair are enjoying some
well-earned rest at the luxurious Sandy Lane resort in Barbados
after a season of physical and emotional highs and lows.
Rooney - who wore a heat for
much of the time he was on the beach - endured a torrid early
season in terms of form and fitness, and famously held to United to
ransom over his future before coming good at the business end and
getting the goals that fired United to a record breaking 19th
title.
Carroll, conversely hit the
ground running in his first season in the Premier League, before
being sold for a King's ransom to Liverpool in January, after which
injury disrupted his campaign.
But if anywhere is going to
give him the rest and recuperation the former Newcastle man needs,
it is the Caribbean.
Family time: Coleen and Wayne play in the surf with
their 18-month-old son Kai
Doting dad: The Manchester United player keeps a close
eye on his son
Winning wife: Coleen stole the show on the beach...
well, she has been to Barbados lots this year!
Wayne, wife Colleen
and son Kai, all of whom were on the trip, have been fond of
Barbados for years and built a £5million house on the island's
500-acre Royal Westmoreland development last
year.
The six bedroom villa comes
with an infinity pool and breathtaking sea views from the bedroom,
and the living room areas.
Other familiar celebrity faces
with holiday homes on Barbados includes ex-boxing champion Joe
Calzaghe, Wayne's team-mate Rio Ferdinand, Gary Lineker, cricketer
Freddie Flintoff, and TV hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan
Donnelly.
Rooney later tweeted a picture
of him and Carroll, with the message, 'Me and big andy [sic]
Carroll chilling at the bar oooossssshhhhh'
Joining the two footballers
who are both in fine shape, was Aston Villa caretaker boss Gary
McAllister who wasn't showing off his beach body in quite the same
way.
