The 2022 documentary film giving unprecedented access to the life and career of one of football鈥檚 greatest strikers. Wayne Rooney recounts stories from some of the most important moments of his life, with testimonies from the people closest to him, including family, friends and his wife Coleen. From his time as a young boy growing up in the Liverpool district of Croxteth, through to his teenage life where his emerging stardom led to intense scrutiny from the British press, the film places Rooney鈥檚 professional career under a microscope, journeying through some of the highest and most challenging moments in the life of England鈥檚 record goal scorer.

Footballing greats such as David Beckham, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand and Thierry Henry illustrate first-hand accounts of Rooney as a teammate and an opponent. Meaningful testimonies from the likes of Rooney鈥檚 first Premier League manager, David Moyes, and his first England manager, Sven-G枚ran Eriksson, describe the seemingly unlimited potential they saw in Rooney at such a young age.
