Wayne Rooney is without doubt one of the best footballers of recent decades but as a person, he is quite astonishingly dull.
This is footballer cliche talk taken to a whole new level. There actually seems to be a complete detachment between the words coming out of his mouth and the look of vapid confusion in his eyes. Throw in some incredibly drab interviewees such as David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard and I often felt my eyelids wilting with fatigue.
While there are some interesting moments in his career, the events of his personal life are just plain awful. It was particularly difficult seeing his wife squirm through questions about his endless infidelities while Rooney stares helplessly into space.
A Wayne Rooney highlight video on YouTube is well worth a watch but overall, this is not a 'personality' worth making a film about.
