Rooney's exciting story: Alcohol was leading me to death, I could kill someone

Manchester United and England ex-attacker Wayne Rooney, speaking of BBC journalist Sally Nugent, about his documentary about his life, made a strong statement about his alcohol dependence even when he was shining like a football player at Manchester United. He points out that he had reached the lowest point.

I knew I needed help to save myself but also to save my family. ”

Speaking of “the mistakes” he had made, 36-year-old says he could have taken a life in that miserable state:

It could have happened for drunk driving, which I did. Someone could have been killed or killed myself. I was in serious condition. ”

Rooney also said he thought he should keep many of his problems as a player.

“10 or 15 years ago, I couldn't go into the dressing room and say: “I'm fighting alcohol, I'm fighting mental health”. I couldn't do that. ”
