The boy with a Dream
“Rooney come down stairs, were about to
watch the mighty Devils”. Rooney was so
excited it was the grand final between
Manchester United and Chelsea. This was a
Brutal game for the red devils it would
change a lot of lives.
Manchester united was leading by one
goal and in one minute to go Chelsea scored
it was 1-1 but Manchester United struck
back and won the game. Rooney’s whole
family went bonkers but as they say every
good thing comes to and end. Just as they
Had finished celebrating the phone rang.
His mum answered the phone she said
there was bad news, everyone suddenly
stop she said “Grandad has just passed
away’. As soon as she said it Rooney felt
like a bullet had just passed through him,
drips of tears rushed down his face he was
to sad to even wipe them away.
But Rooney believed that after one bad thing,
one good thing would happen. Rooney always
dreamt about playing for Manchester United,
he practised and practised as he was growing
older. He waited till he was older to trial for
Manchester United as he was only 13 years of
age.
By the age of 20 Rooney was fit and ready
to have his first trial with Manchester
United. Some of Rooney’s greatest hero’s
were there but he concentrated on the
game. His hands were shaking violently as
the nerves started to kick in.
The game had started and in all most 20
minutes Rooney had scored but the coach
wasn’t looking, Rooney was ferocious.
Rooney was running down the line when he
was slide tackled he had received a penalty.
He took it and…
He missed
The first intense trial was over, 200 people got cut
and only twenty-two were left now there were only 2
spots up for grabs. Rooney knew this was an unlikely
chance but he remember his Grandad’s last words
were “never give up”. Rooney trained harder and
harder where ever he was whether on a field or in his
street.
One night he was talking with his mum and
he wondered whether he should go back
and have another trial as there was only 1
spot left now. His mum said “give it one
more go, do it for Grandad”, a drip of liquid
trickled down his face he wiped it away.
The next day Rooney was pumped and ready he
knew this was his last chance to make the squad
and do his Grandad proud. As he was walking
there, some spectators called out to him and
said “you’ll never make it, you’re a wimp”.
Whether or not they like him Rooney had a
heart of steel and simple focused on what he
was there for, to play.
Rooney received the ball from Giggs he passed the
ball back and Giggs put a through ball to Rooney he
was off until the big keeper came and took Rooney’s
feet off. The crowd went wild and everyone went
crazy all but poor Rooney who was still on the floor
and injured now the game had became a whole lot
more interesting, He was rewarded a free kick.
He stood up but it took all his strength, he
knew this free kick would have to be
perfect; it was make it or break it. He was
ready he walk back he took his run up and
kicked it…
This time he kicked the ball it look like it
was going out then it came back in and into
the back of the net, it had curled like a
Frisbee. The coach came up to Rooney and
offered him a spot and Rooney accepted it.
Rooney went on to play for Manchester
United for three years and became a
millionaire. The moral of this story is to
“never give up”.
