10 Most Passionate Players In The Premier League

2. Wayne Rooney

Another Manchester United striker who shows his unbridled passion week in, week out is Wayne Rooney. Rooney's dogged determinism makes him a ferocious warrior on the pitch, battling for every ball and never pulling out of a challenge. He's also been shown to let his feelings pour out by sticking up two fingers at a TV camera after scoring a vital goal for United and blasting "It's nice to hear your own fans boo ya" down the lens of another camera after a fairly damaging England defeat. Like Walcott's now-infamous reminding of the score to grieving Tottenham fans, both were marred with regret, yet are further examples of passion in the topflight.
