10 things you probably didn't know about Wayne Rooney

#8 Foodie

Rooney is a massive foodie

Rooney’s love for food is probably only second to his love for football. The Englishman enjoys eating salads, sausages, baked beans, eggs and chips and loves to guzzle a can of Diet Coke every once in a while.

Wazza also has a fixed pre-match meal which consists of Spaghetti Bolognese along with a piece of chicken fillet. The player’s favourite cuisine is Chinese and Rooney made sure that he got his fair share when the club went to China for their pre-season tour.

All said and done, the Englishman’s favourite food is actually lettuce, something which was revealed by his wife.

“They all think Wayne’s a big fat person and eats burgers every day, which he’s not, and I don’t know where they get it from.”

“It does my head in because people really believe that. His favourite food is lettuce. He loves salad.”
