On that occasion, in fact, put on his shoes “long metal studs” because he wanted try to injure some opponent of the Blues, set for the conquest of the Premier League.

“We knew that if he had won Chelsea, they would have won the championship, so I replaced the plastic metal-tipped cleats I’ve always worn, with long metal cleats that were allowed but which I knew. in tackling they would have allowed me to go down hard and I did”Rooney said. “John Terry left the stadium on crutches, I left a hole in his foot and a few weeks later I asked him to get my cleat back …”.
