New York Knicks star almost wrecked Man Utd season
tribalfooball.com - December 12, 2006
Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney has revealed how he almost sustained a freak injury while watching a basketball match on Monday night.
He and fiancee Coleen McLoughlin took advantage of a three-day break to travel to New York to watch the Knicks lose at home to Boston Celtics.
They had courtside seats at Madison Square Garden.
And in the early stages of the game Knicks star Paul Pierce - who is 6ft 8in and 17st - reached for a loose ball, fell on to the striker and landed on Rooney's right foot.
It is the same foot he broke ahead of the World Cup but, thankfully, this time no damage was done.
Rooney said: "It was very scary. He rolled right over my foot."
