Grudge Matches: Merseyside Derby, Steven Gerrard & Pizzagate

The Wayne Rooney Show

Available for over a year

Wayne Rooney relives football’s fiercest grudge matches with Kelly Somers and Kae Kurd, just in time for Liverpool v Everton and Arsenal v Man City. From feeling sick before Merseyside derbies to locking Coleen out the house for hanging Liverpool flags up. He opens up on Pizzagate, smashing into opponents, and why his friendship with Steven Gerrard stopped at kick-off. Plus, why Jamie Carragher acted like Liverpool’s referee, why Arsenal’s squad is the strongest in the league, and why tiredness is no excuse before big games. Watch The Wayne Rooney Show on BBC Sport YouTube and iPlayer, or listen now on BBC Sounds.
