Rooney Fights Back

Last night Rooney announced that he would do whatever he possibly could to ensure he still played in England's 2006 World Cup squad. Motivated by our very own Peter Shilton, Rooney has bounced back and is ready to do more than his fair share to win us that bloody cup. It is alleged that after reading the article about Shilton's valiant efforts to lift Britain's beleaguered spirits, Rooney immediately limped into action. He sent a mini-cab from his own home to pick Shilton up and bring him up north. It is reported that both men then worked into the early hours formulating a plan to bring Rooney back to match fitness.

Speaking this morning a rather exhausted, but content, Rooney said "Pete and I worked on what needed doing. We looked at what was going on and what could still be done... he's been a real support throughout... and now I know what I need to do... I intend to stay positive."
The contribution that Shilton has made in saving England's world cup dreams of late, and the inspiration he has given Wayne, cannot be undervalued. Without Shilton England would now be in a very different, and potentially disastrous position. Mooky.net feels the Queen should give that man a medal.
