The 35-year-old is currently earning plaudits for his admirable performance as manager of troubled Derby County but Everton and Manchester United fans will always claim him as one of their own.
The documentary will look back at Rooney’s incredible career as a player, most notably at Man Utd and for the England national team. It will also delve into his off-field life with the footballer discussing his life’s most important moments in interviews.

The film has been directed by BAFTA winner Matt Smith, who has previously made documentaries on sporting icons including David Beckham and Rio Ferdinand, and produced by Lorton Entertainment.

The documentary will follow Rooney's life and career – both on and off the field – covering the glorious rise of the teenage sensation from Everton youngster to Manchester United legend to England's all-time top goalscorer.
