Sports / Re: Wayne Rooney Joins Everton (Photos) by Mokunfope(m): 11:34pm On Jul 09, 2017
hadedayor10:
Ten years ago, when kids of my age called
Superman and Spiderman their superheroes, I
treated this man as my Superhero. When people
asked me whether my favorite player was
Ronaldo or Messi, I used to proudly tell them-
"Wayne Rooney" when no one dared saying that.
And there were times when I had nightmares of
this man leaving the club and leaving me
tattered.
Today though, that has come true. It will be
strange to have Manchester United without the
man who has been a fantastic servant to the
club.
I remember watching him as that teenager who
brought a smile to the kid's face every week and
his passion, drive and determination to never
give up inspired me and will keep on inspiring me
throughout my life. His never satiating hunger to
give his all for the team used to be so satisfying
that he was very often the best player on the
pitch, despite being the smallest out there.
Even today, if you happen to ask me about who
my favorite player is, I can't pick out a single
player apart from Wazza himself. Others may
ooze flair and panache, but they never had the
desire to cover blade of grass on the pitch to
put the team's priorities before his own. So
much so that even when he scored the record-
breaking 251st goal, he didn't celebrate at all.
Because the game at Stoke wasn't won. If that's
not called commitment for the club, I can't
imagine what is!
People hated him for everything that he is, but
there's no one better in silencing critics by
coming up with a scintillating performance on the
pitch. When people abused him off the pitch, he
shut them up and left them gagged by
performing on the pitch. When others came and
left, he stood firm.
After years of putting the club before his own
priorities, it's time he finally puts his own ones
before anything else. He still has two or three
decent years left and while I won't sleep well
because this terrific journey's coming to an end,
it's time he departs and starts proving people
wrong again- something Wayne Rooney's always
been about and always will be.
He'll be hated and will be laughed at by many,
but the man's been through it all. He does his
talking on the pitch. And fifty years on , when
people will ask me about who my favorite player
was, I will smile and proudly take this battler's
name. The battler who brought a smile that kid's
face.
Can't really thank this man enough and I really
do fall short of words to describe him and what
he's achieved. I'll miss chanting your name every
time you took to the pitch, but will continue to
defend you when no one does.
Thanks for making me fall in love with the game,
Wayne Rooney. There will never be another you
ever again.
My Superman. Forever.
"Remember the name, Wayne Rooney."
u all d best.
yes boss., u just said it all.., he is also my best player in history of football.., thou he may not have the attention of Ronaldo and messi but too me best player is not all abt personal achievement, he is more of team player, even when united dont av classic players like that of madrid and barca he was there with his fantastic goals, intelligent assist,more chances created and effort winning d ball from d back.., most humble player that give regards to most new and young players at d club and sacrifice more for the team., from striker he was first playing behind tevez before he finally turn to a midfielder but never did he complained., WAZZA u are my favorite

it's called transfer, inter university Trasfer, but it's kinda risky because once you collect your transcript you cease to be a Ladokite, so I heard but not sure thou

tanx.., I'm not interested in interschool transfer cos we are not through with our 100lev. so DAT will b kinda difficult to go by., I av ND from yabatech with upper credit., and I'm considering d new system of jamb DAT once u are admitted in one school to work another is difficult if not impossible.., so my question is DAT can I still obtain DE form without affecting studentship at lautech??
