21 years old this week (24 October), a young superstar Wayne Rooney just gave himself a birthday present . It was a hattrick to The Wanderers' goal. It was also an straight and clear answer to media doubt regarding to his unstable performance since World Cup 2006. And I agree wif Mr.Fergie..it was a World Cup hangover. But let's move on..here is the Wonderkid that we know. The Wonderkid who scored a fabulous goal to Arsenal David Seaman's goal. Now, he is back on track, signed by his hattrick.

Here is the media attention (which Rooney never able to get out of):

Wayne Mark Rooney, born 24 October 1985 in Liverpool. Unlike most people who put Liverpool FC as their boyhood team, Rooney's loyalty remain to Everton FC - Liverpool rival. Joined Everton FC and live up his name by being the youngest player who score a goal in Premiership (16 years and 360 days). In 2004, he transfered to Manchester United and continue his magnificent contribution both in club and International team. He suffered a metatarsal injury few weeks before World Cup 2006 began, which create his own set-back. (Wikipedia - Wayne Rooney). Until this very day.

Why is he so special? For me simply because he always kick any ball with passion and heart. He has no physical advantages with big build (for an athelete..) and average heights. But be sure that he will run and kick until the final whistle blown. His upperbody balance and skilled control put him as one of the strongest striker I ever know. Complete striker, I may say...he can score, he can create opportunity for his teammates and good defense. But sometimes his aggression don't always in his favor. Like any youngsters, he has quite bad-temper, so red card is quite familiar with him. Or maybe he has Roy Keane or Eric Cantona as his role models, I don't know. One more thing, his style of defense remind me to Gennaro Gatusso, who I admire in defensive football.
