When Wayne Rooney scored against Switzerland at Wembley in September he became England’s greatest ever goalscorer, eclipsing a record held by Sir Bobby Charlton for almost half a century.

But who is the real Wayne Rooney, off the pitch and away from the glare of the media spotlight?

For the first time he has allowed a television production team, as well as BBC football presenter Gary Lineker, unique access to his life with wife Coleen and their two sons, Kai and Klay.

Wayne takes us back to Merseyside as we meet both his and Coleen’s parents, plus we discover the details of the couple’s early life together.

It’s a fascinating personal portrait of life in Wayne’s world and most importantly one that avoids all the usual football cliches. Rooney is a man watched by millions but known by few, and this documentary so wonderfully brings to light aspects of the Manchester United No.10 that we never knew before. Who knew Wayne Rooney wrote poetry! This is not just a documentary for fans of the sport. This is essential viewing for those who want to know more about the life of Wayne Rooney. “Rooney: The Man Behind The Goals” is a universal story of achieving your dreams and becoming the greatest in your field.
