They were returning a favour after Wayne Rooney presented the remaining four members of 1D with a personalised Manchester United shirt back in July this year. In this special programme, BT Sport presenter Gary Lineker heads to the Rooneys’ home to meet the striker and explore his acclaimed life and career, finding out about his early life in Liverpool and his relationship with wife Coleen. But he was Wayne Rooney and he got a lot of press so everyone got to find out what he was doing, and when he was doing it.

Wayne, who described himself as a family man, also gave an insight into how he wooed a young Coleen, with Coleen’s mum revealing he proposed to her outside a petrol station.
An elated Linekar tweeted: ‘I could retweet all night but I’ll spare you. “Proud of ya! Great documentary”.
There was, understandably, no mention of Rooney’s very bad recent form, with the documentary instead focusing on the everyman element of Rooney’s personality, and his record breaking feats before the age of 30. David Beckham, Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo and other football greats.
