Everton hero Rooney: I thought Dunc and Stubbs were c***

Ex-Everton forward Wayne Rooney has spoken about the time he spent at the club during the start of his career.

Rooney burst onto the Premier League scene as a teenager with the Toffees.

He eventually made it into the England squad for Euro 2004, before moving to Manchester United in a big money transfer.

In a tell-all interview with Toffees TV, he stated about his teammates when he got into the Everton first team: "It's mad how quickly things changed.

"For me to go in with Duncan [Ferguson], [Alan] Stubbs - all of them that I grew up watching.

“To then go and play with them, training with them every day, so quickly I remember thinking, 'These are c***'."
