BBC One - Rooney 2004: World at His Feet

Wayne Rooney’s definitive coming-of-age story, told by the man himself.

Wayne Rooney's definitive coming-of-age story, told by the man himself, whose performances at Euro 2004 catapulted him into international superstardom.

The definitive story of the 12 days that changed Wayne Rooney’s life forever.


Told first hand, 20 years on, Wayne reflects on the highs and lows of Euro 2004 in Portugal, a tournament that saw 18-year-old Rooney catapult himself into international superstardom.

Loved instantly by England fans for his passion and ferocious will to win, Rooney shocked European football from the opening match against France, stunning the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry with his incredible performances.

Michael Owen, a key member of England’s golden generation and a player who experienced his own teenage breakthrough at the 1998 World Cup, gives his own account of sharing the pitch with Rooney, whose four goals in the first three games had England believing this could be their time.

But against hosts Portugal in the quarter-final, disaster struck, and Rooney was forced off with a broken foot after 27 minutes. Made to watch his team’s painful exit on penalties from a Portuguese hospital bed, Rooney was devastated as England’s chance of a first major trophy since 1966 ended in heartache.
