The Birmingham boss, now 38, reflected on his early career on the podcast of ex-rugby league star Rob Burrow.
FORMER ENGLAND CAPTAIN Wayne Rooney has described his abuse of alcohol early in his football career as a “release”.
The 38-year-old told Burrow: “My release was alcohol when I was in my early 20s. I’d go home, and spend a couple of days at home and not leave the house. I’d drink almost until I’d pass out. Former Leeds Rhinos star Burrow and his wife Lindsey have launched a new series called Seven on the BBC’s The Total Sport podcast, in which they interview seven sporting greats and ask seven questions, with Rooney the first guest.
