September 28 – Arsene About and Rooney’s Red Debut
Two of the Premiership’s leading lights make their bow today in the latest trawl through the OTFD vaults.
Following Wayne Rooney’s Euro 2004 exploits he was suddenly the hottest property in European football and Sir Alex Ferguson decided to whip out his cheque book and make Rooney his latest big-money signing, with Everton receiving £27m for their starlet. He would hit the ground running, so read all about his debut here.
OK so it’s a person, two words; first word, two syllables, first syllable: sounds like bum? Rear? Bottom? Arse? Yes!
Second syllable, sounds like: oh never mind. It’s Arsene Wenger, and it was on this day that cerebral old Arsene was appointed manager of the club which so nearly shares his name. Read the full story here.
After 13 years in the Premiership he still hasn’t got his celebration down.
