Wayne Rooney to appear in court over drink-driving charge
Written by News on 18/09/2017
Wayne Rooney is to due appear at Stockport Magistrates’ Court this morning charged with drink driving.
The Everton striker, 31, was stopped in a black Volkswagen Beetle in Wilmslow, Cheshire, at 2am on 1 September.
He was released on bail after being charged with "driving whilst over the prescribed limit".
The Liverpool-born player, whose wife Coleen is pregnant with their fourth child, retired from international football in August having captained the Three Lions since 2014.
Rooney, of Collar House Drive, Prestbury, is England’s all-time top scorer with 53 goals.
He rejoined boyhood club Everton this summer after 13 years at Manchester United.
On his return to Old Trafford on Sunday, Rooney was given a warm welcome and left to a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 82nd minute.
But it was Manchester United’s Antonio Valencia that got fans on their feet as an outstanding half-volley kicked-off a United win that ended 4-0.
