One of the lasting images from the Premier League this weekend was Wayne Rooney leaving the pitch with his bloodied eye as Everton struggled against Bournemouth. Everton are a mess at the moment. Currently 14th in the table on 7 points with the unforgiving adventures of the Europa League to further add to their headaches. The early part of the season encapsulated through this picture of their boyhood superstar leaving the pitch looking like the missing british member of the Legion of Doom.
Wayne has been carrying a lot of L's in the past few years getting iced out of Man United, ultimately forced out of international duty, a drunk driving charge, and now dropping his career boxing record to 0-3. Lets take a look at how we got here.
The punch heard all around Britain which probably killed ole Wayne was his knockout against friend Phil Bardsley.
Fight two was controversial as he wasn't really fighting anyone but still got knocked out. Losing a ghost fight is not something most fighters would come back from but the lad really showed some heart. NSFL if you're queezy.
Now this weekend we have Wayne's third L in the ring. England and Man United top goalscorer being tossed around like a ragdoll. Now on top of it his mate Rio Ferdinand is taking up boxing (but for real). Sign of disrespect? Maybe. Is it to protect his good friend? Let's hope because Wayne-o could use it.
