Wayne Rooney: My Decade In The Premier League - Plot & Excerpts
The first day back at pre-season training. I’m like most blokes, I put on a few pounds after a holiday. Even if I don’t train for a week, I put on two or three, but when I get back to Carrington for the first day of work, I’m in for a shock. The scales in the club gym tell me I’ve put on a few more pounds than expected. Seven. Seven! Then I remember: I drank a few bevvies while I was away. I’m stocky; I’m not like Ryan Giggs, all bone and lean muscle, I gain weight quite easily. It’s not a problem though. It’s not as if The Manager’s leaning over my shoulder as the numbers come in, tutting and making jokes about me eating too many chip butties. Besides, I know I can shift it in a week or two. All the players are given loose training programmes to stick to while they’re away, but they’re optional. The club like us not to go overboard on the eating and drinking in the close season break (but they’re usually OK if I go a bit overweight), so if I go abroad I like to get into the hotel gym three times a week to work on the treadmill and do some weight work.
