Wayne Rooney should be more vocal

Why is Wayne Rooney so vocal except when the National Anthem is aired, asks Peter Rhodes.

IT DOES seem strange that Rooney, so outgoing and vocal when screaming obscenities into the camera, is so shy and tongue-tied whenever the National Anthem is played.

No-one expects him to belt out every word of God Save the Queen before every England match but when you are one of 12 men granted the amazing privilege of representing your nation of 50 million at football, is it too much to ask that Rooney might at least mumble along?
