Everything you already knew
I'm fairly certain this documentary could be made without Wayne Rooney's contribution. You would still come away with the same insight you already had about him as a player and what you read in the papers.
Skirting around stories you want hear, not being completely open about what happened in them, too much footage of old football matches and interviews with fellow professionals saying all the stuff you've heard a million times before on Sky Sports.
It's all very meh. It feels like this film has been made with a couple of interviews of Rooney, a filming afternoon at his house and some short interviews with pros telling us how great he was AND a TONNE of video tape from the Premier League and FIFA tournaments.
I think it's possible to piece this film together using YouTube footage if you really wanted. It's clear, his agent Stretford still clearly has his grubby little hands on commercial Rooney stuff.
