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.
