SHARED experiences and camaraderie amid times of adversity create friendships which last a lifetime.
For Liam Rosenior and Wayne Rooney, that certainly rings true. They did not operate in a conventional theatre of war at Derby County, but it was a battleground in its own way.

Throw in a sending off in a quarter-final at the global tournament and a venting of spleen towards referees and a bit more besides. Speak to people who know Rooney the man and manager and the image of a more considered and calm individual refreshingly tells a different story.
