Wayne Rooney is an old school player and in years gone by, after a great win, you could go and have a few drinks to celebrate. Ive got sympathy for him because Ive done it myself.When I was playing, there was no better feeling than celebrating with your mates. I was in the dentist chair with everyone else before Euro 1996!

This day and age is completely different to when I was playing, with camera phones and social media.When youre someone as famous as Rooney, and youre not in the best of form, you have to be so careful. If you want to have a couple of drinks, fine. But dont get caught at a wedding. Wayne Rooney has let his guard down really badly and hell be kicking himself.
