WAYNE ROONEY is prepared for the special tingle in his spine on Sunday as he tries to deny boyhood idols Everton a place in the FA Cup Final.
The acrimony surrounding Rooney’s £27million move to Manchester United in 2004, followed by the abrupt downturn in his relationship with Everton manager David Moyes, has rather soured the forward’s relationship with the Goodison Park faithful.
But Rooney said: “It still means something that it is Everton. It is the team I grew up supporting. It makes it a big day for me, although the most important thing is for United to reach the final.”
