Wayne Rooney Everton Rooney's debut season was a year to remember. Having led Everton to the FA Youth Cup final only three months earlier, he made his senior debut for his boyhood team against Tottenham Hotspur FC in August 2002. His first league goal followed two months later against Arsenal FC, a spectacular dipping strike in the last minute to end the Londoners' 30-match unbeaten record. He was still just 16 at the time. He ended his first season with six league goals. The initial fee of £23m is to be paid directly to Everton Football Club over two years; the rest of the money depends on appearances and/or success at Manchester United and/or England. It is unlikely the fee will reach the maximum £27m due to the complex nature of the contract drawn up by the two clubs. A final fee in the region of £25m plus costs (mainly agents' fees) is more likely. In the club's 2004-05 accounts, Rooney's contract is recorded as having a book cost of £25.066 million as at 30 June 2005, with contingent payables of £4 million, giving a maximum final fee of £29.066 million including costs. source: wikipedia.org GNU Free Documentation License   Wayne Rooney everton pictures 2006 byA-Z Players Directory
