Wayne Rooney lifted the lid on his feud with former Everton boss David Moyes that resulted in the manager suing and taking the England great to court
Wayne Rooney admitted he "hammered" David Moyes after his contentious departure from Everton - with Moyes later taking him to court.
Following his Everton exit, Rooney published a book in 2006 called 'My Story So Far,' in which he accused his then-boss, Moyes, of leaking details of a private conversation between the pair, during which the striker made clear his intention to leave the club. Moyes took legal action against Rooney, along with ghost writer Hunter Davies and publishers HarperCollins, and accepted "substantial" libel damages.
Talking to Neville, Rooney said: "David Moyes was good for me at Everton. He sued me after I left the club as I hammered him when I left because of how I felt at the time. I spoke to him a few years after I left, I called him up and apologised because the older you get, you realise why he was doing things.
Looking back on his experience with the ex-Man United boss, the Croxteth native realised how important it was to have a manager trying to keep his feet on the ground."It was new to him, to have a player getting all those headlines, for him to figure out he was a young manager at the time, it was new to him," Rooney remarked. "When I look back, he was good for me, he was constantly on me. He was trying to not let me think that I was better than I was.
