I think it was in 2000 that our manager John Coleman sent one of our forwards to America for the summer. Gary Williams had been injured and missed some football towards the end of the season. He went to play for New Jersey Barons to get fit in time for the new season.
is that the John Rooney who is Wayne Rooneys little brother? I'm not surprised if so. He had only played a handful of games for Macclesfield (same league as us and roughly the same sort of size club) and never acheived anything in terms of experience or stature. He was watched by a few bigger clubs, probably more interested in the link with his brother and whether talent ran in the family, but nothing materialised. You should rally gain the experience to fulfill whatever talent you have before upping sticks in that kind of manner. |
Oh yes, World Premier League or something would be much better!
And you are correct, the John Rooney I'm talking about is Wayne's little brother. You may recall that Sir Alex sent Wayne over here to the Nike Trianing ctr to get away from all the controversy surrounding him due wanting to leave ManU and his prostitute exploits. I'm thinking he arranged something for John while he was here, and I've always been suspicious that Sir Alex was the one who pulled the strings as a way of keeping Wayne at United. Just my suspicion based solely on the timing of everything. So far John has only managed to play for the New York reserve team. He has scored some goals on free kicks so that appears to be a talent of his. I havent seen him play so I cant speak to any other part of his game. I've always thought MLS was somewhere between England's league One and the Championship, but it's really not an apples to apples comparison due to the structure of our leagues. MLS has a salary cap, designated players, and no relegation/promotion system.
