Top 5 most famous swearing incidents involving English football teams

Wayne Rooney and the f***ing camera

Scoring a hattrick in football is definitely cause for passionate celebrations. Jumping on your teammates or pumping your fist towards the fans is a perfectly acceptable way to do it. But swearing into the camera is a definite no-no! And Wayne Rooney found that out the hard way. He had just finished scoring a hattrick against West Ham and decided to show up his detractors who had been baying for his blood by looking them in the eye – well, at least through the camera – and then swearing. He got a two match ban for his trouble. We sympathise with Rooney, though. After all, all he said was one word, over and over again. A word, almost everyone, children included, were certainly aware of!
