Wayne Rooney

Before Wayne Rooney made a name for himself in soccer, he was a young aspiring Liverpool native supporting his local football club, Everton F.C.. And like any other aspirant, Wayne joined one of the local youth clubs, honing his soon-to-be world-class skills. From here he followed the natural progression and joined the junior leagues where an Everton scout finally noticed him. He joined the prestigious club at the age of 9. To his credit, he had a successful early start in the club’s under 19 squad.

During that time, he was driving around in a modest Ford Sportka. A very fitting and practical car for the young aspirant to drive to-and-from practice sessions. At the age of 16, he finally got his career breakthrough by making the first squad of Everton. After two seasons, he gained enough attention from rival clubs in the league and transferred to one of the biggest clubs in the world, Manchester United. From there, he set off to one of soccer’s most successful careers in history, winning multiple Premier League and Champions League titles.
