I just read that Rooney trained as a boxer when he was younger...lol. And that he is a NUT over it! Maybe that helps him on the field!!! It certainly explains some of his "toughness", and could help him go the extra mile in soccer!
Ive always had a thing for boxers, and this just gives me more reason to watch the man at his game. True on the field work and stamina, I'm sure it helps out more than most think!
That's new to me. I assume that might be the reason why he got hot temperament. But I still admire this guy because he is not using his boxing skills inside the football field.
He does have some boxing skills and you could see them in this thread that I created:

His boxing ability gives him the edge over other players because he has the stamina and endurance of a boxer even though he has taken lots of body hits.
That video is something else. I think his swings for boxing are a little wide though. And the shot at the end with the building - great.
And he cleans! Okay thats just wrong, my wife can never see that video now, she might leave me if she did.
Has anyone heard anymore about this one? I could see him having the stamina, but I dont know about him with the whole being punched in the face and stuff. It doesnt seem to suit him.
