rooney_2004_euros.mp4

All clips are from this fantastic BBC documentary. I was one year old in 2004 so don't remember the Rooney-fever that swept the nation, but this doc does a great job conveying how big the craze was. Download link for those without access to iPlayer:

Milan Baros owned this Euro 2004. I didn't get to watch any match back then. Been in boarding school deprived me those moments.

Genuinely baffling how he played so well in this tournament as a teenager yet stunk it up in every single one afterwards

Palmares of rooney im the bitch of magic bouguerra

Gonna be wirtz this year

Excellent track choice as always.

The amazon rooney doc has some great pitch-side footage of young rooney as well. If anyone makes a comp of his game vs turkey in 2003 on here it would go viral, outrageous performance and talent as a teenager

So smooth 1899
