Player Valuation: £5m
2003. Sitting in the crowd, hearing someone shout, ‘Bring on the kid!’ and just holding your breath because you had no idea what he might do when he got on
I don’t care what happened afterwards with Rooney, but he was the most exciting player we’d had since the 80s and he lit that season up.
I think some fans forget just how miserable things had become under Smith (the Tranmere cup game being the perfect example) and Moyes did then what he’s doing now - gave us some belief.
And that was massively helped by bringing on a small child who looked like your arl fella to confuse and terrify opposition players. Sol Campbell was never the same after that goal
