Football legend and former Manchester United player Wayne Rooney was the latest guest to appear on Gary Neville's "The Overlap." During their interview, Gary asked him about a viral incident where he was heard exchanging banter with a couple of Twitch streamers. The streamers in question were Morgan "Angry Ginge", during their Gurf N Turf series on EA FC 24. Gary asked:
"You were in a game or something and you said, 'I'm gonna come around and knock you out' to someone?"
Explaining the situation, Rooney said that it was popular Manchester-born rapper Aitch who had initially invited him to play the game:
"Yeah, it was one Gurf N Turf. (After Gary asks about the series) It's mad. It's a bunch of streamers who have set up a FIFA team. So I know Aitch, the rapper, he said, 'We got this team, do you wanna come in and have a couple of games?' I had nothing else to do, so I joined the team. It was hilarious."

He added:
"People were subscribing and watching us play. I think the last game we played was like 85 thousand people (watching). More than Old Trafford (which has a 75K seating capacity)."
Gary asked:
"So did you threaten to knock someone out?"
Wayne Rooney answered that he was simply bantering with the streamers involved. He said:
"No, that was one of the lads (Angry Ginge) we were playing with. Yeah, just joking there."
