In a moment of sheer domestic comedy that will resonate with anyone who has ever been on the wrong side of a locked door, former England football captain Wayne Rooney found himself in a hilariously awkward predicament.
Exclusive CCTV footage, obtained by The Independent, shows the Derby County manager looking utterly bewildered as he attempts to gain entry to a property, seemingly locked out and without his keys.
The video captures the 38-year-old icon, once famed for his precision on the pitch, trying the front door handle multiple times with no success. His frustration is palpable as he paces on the doorstep, a figure of bemusement in a grey hoodie and tracksuit bottoms.
In a move of pure desperation, Rooney is then seen peering through the letterbox, presumably hoping to attract the attention of someone inside. The footage cuts before revealing how the stalemate was eventually resolved, leaving viewers to wonder if he had to wait for Coleen to return home.
The incident provides a rare and relatable glimpse into the off-pitch life of the football legend, proving that even multi-millionaire sports stars aren't immune to everyday mishaps. It’s a far cry from the roaring crowds of Old Trafford or Wembley Stadium, but perhaps a scene every homeowner knows all too well.
