Wayne Rooney: “U.S. Olympic basketball team came into this bar where we was… I went over to say hello (to LeBron), and the security went: ‘Please step away from the table sir.’ So I was like, ‘It’s OK’. So I went to the toilet so I come back and he (LeBron) sees me and shouts me over.”

2. Wayne Rooney is arguably THE greatest, if not one of the greatest English footballers ever. He’s such a down to earth guy who’s only vice is shagging grannies.

3. Wtf is a Rooney

   -security

4. Lebron is a man of the people 

5. Rooney is a good storyteller but this was not really worth mentioning, and I get the feeling he realised that about halfway through lol

6. Security had 0 ball knowledge, Wazza was a problem 

7. Security dropped the ball by not guarding the toilet also smh

8. What language is he speaking?

10. Love me some Rooney, what an iconic player.

    Dude sacrificed so much of his personal glory and stats for the better of the team without complaint, year after year. An absolute workhorse who could play anywhere on the pitch, doing whatever was needed – run, defend, pass, shoot. They don’t make em like him anymore.

11. I need closed captioning.

12. Reminds me of the story about security turning away Paul McCartney at Tyga’s Grammys after-party. McCartney and Rooney are obviously mega famous worldwide but most Americans especially black Americans in their 20s really wouldn’t know who they are.

13. Wayne Rooney walking down the street in idk Atlanta and Peyton Manning walking down the street in Manchester, who gets recognized first lol?

14. Rooney will be in Korea in a month for a 90min legends game of defenders vs attakers.

    How well do you guys think he’ll fare with his…current physique? Lmao

    Intensity of the game will be very high ( it was insane last year)

    My favourite Rooney goal

16. I dont blame him. Wazza looks like a regular 55 year old english man

18. Wayne was a freak in his prime

19. Feels like Rooney’s been retired (as a player) for ages, but then he slips in something like “Lebron’s a year or two older than me”

20. The fact LeBron is older than Rooney is crazy

21. I could only understand half of it, but I understood all of it.

22. “I think he’s a year or two older than me”

    -Very much out of the game Wayne Rooney speaking of a very much still in the game Lebron James

23. In Lebron’s security team’s defense, Rooney looks way more like someone they don’t want going anywhere near Lebron than he looks like an incredible soccer player.

    He just has that stocky build and specific face that looks like all he wants to do is have 5 pints and punch someone.

24. It’s funny because worldwide Rooney is more famous than LeBron

25. Cool story and that must have been a fun time honestly
