ROONEY WEAVE

So, is it time for another £30,000 weave Wayne?

He's due to captain England against San Marino tonight. And maybe the skipper would be well advised to avoid making any headers.Wayne Rooney appeared at a post-training press conference yesterday, displaying a thatch that seemed to be showing the same vulnerability as his famed metatarsal.
It’s a year and a half since Rooney paid £30,000 for a hair transplant.

He had the 'follicular transfer' treatment – in which hair follicles are extracted from lush patches and reinserted where hair is thinning – at a London clinic.
He said at the time he was delighted with the result, and, in the months immediately after the operation, he boasted a relatively thick crop.

 

He said, 'You don't want to lose all your hair, certainly not in your 20s anyway. So I thought about what I was going to do and started thinking, why not get a hair transplant'.
Meanwhile Mrs Rooney showed no signs of slowing down yesterday as she strolled to work on a photo shoot for the Littlewoods spring/summer 2013 collection.
Dressed down in a khaki jacket and black trousers, the 26-year-old shielded her blossoming bump with her large red designer handbag.

The Rooneys will have little time for vanity as the coming months will be all about preparing for the new arrival.
The couple, who live in a £4 million mansion in Cheshire, already have a three-year old son called Kai, born in Liverpool in 2009.
And Mrs Rooney, who was raised a Catholic, has said she would like to follow in the footsteps of fellow footballer's wife Victoria Beckham by having a big family.
In an interview last year she said: 'I'd like to have maybe three or four children. I'd be happy to be a full-time mum'.
