That’s because the England ace is hooked on playing Fifa 08 on
his PlayStation!
So when he’s not honing his skills on the pitch, he’s online
trying to improve his virtual footie ranking. Wayne, 22, admitted:
“I probably play about five times every night at home. I love
playing it online because you’re speaking to different people and
trying to build your points up.”
Players can choose any top club—such as Wayne’s Man Utd—to play
against. Or they can connect via the internet and take on other
gamers worldwide.
Rooney’s Fifa fixtures haven’t gone down too well with his wife
though. A pal said: “Wayne is completely hooked. Coleen doesn’t get
a look-in when he is on it. It drives her mad.”
And whose picture is on the box of the PlayStation game? None
other than Wayne Rooney himself!
But it’s not just footie that gets the Man Utd striker
goggle-eyed. He added: “I watch a lot of TV. I love 24 and The
Sopranos. My favourite film is probably Goodfellas. I watched it
again the other night.”
With the computer game and TV watching in the bag, that just
leaves one more Rooney ritual for the hat-trick. And it’s music
that scores. Wayne has radio station Galaxy blaring in the car on
the way to training—and a Stereophonics CD on the way back.
Presumably it doesn’t affect him taking corners!
