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.

After 13 years in the Premiership he still hasn’t got his celebration down.
