Wayne Rooney: 'I had to change my Gamertag'

Thursday 8-Oct-2009 12:06 PM "Too many people found out it really was me," says FIFA star

18 Comments

Man U striker, Wayne Rooney, had to change his Gamertag because too many people discovered him on Xbox Live, he's revealed. The difficult life of an international footballer, eh?

"My Gamertag name used to be Wazza10 but I had to change it when too many people found out it really was me," Rooney told The Metro on his FIFA 10 press rounds.

"I still play FIFA regularly online though," he said. Then again, he is the "brand ambassador" for the game, so he would say that wouldn't he?

I was thinking the same thing lol. �1000 says that Coleen isn't with him for his dazzling good looks and it pretty much shows.

i wonder if during a game, and something goes against, him, he starts shouting the odds at the TV, culminating in either a moment of Genius (That volley against Newcastle - thinking about this, it might not have been against the toon?) or a moment of utter childish stupidity (pretty much every other time).

I am suprised he just didn't go with WRooney, or just Rooney to be honest.. bets on him just going to wazza11 or something just as simple

Nah, he go under the name of alwaysablue or judas4eva.

Well then let me be the first to say: stop posting on here and start working on your finishing. Some of the chances you've missed this season have been scandalous. Rolling Eyes

Well since his nickname is Wazza (like Gazza) and his number is 10. So its basically the same as Wayne Rooney 10.
