The Everton striker, Wayne Rooney turned up for training today - at a community garden
Rooney, who admitted being almost three times the drink-drive limit last month, is working there, as part of a 100-hour community service order he received, along with a two-year road ban.
He is said to be desperate to convince wife Coleen he is turning his life around – after being caught with another woman while drunk in the car after a night out.
A source said: “Wayne knows he has got to do this and has really thrown himself into it. He doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty and he looked like he was enjoying it”
The £150,000-a-week star was chauffeured to his shift, near his £6million home in Prestbury, Cheshire.
At 8.40am, he walked in wearing a blue jacket, blue hoodie, matching blue bottoms and black Nike trainers.He has already completed two days of work – at least 12 hours.
At the centre, Rooney, 31, put on a green zip-up fleece, worn by colleagues and spent all his time inside.
He has been given routine maintenance tasks as disadvantaged adults around him learn new skills, including plant potting, and woodwork.
Their efforts are displayed and sold at the Rooney left at 3.04pm, he strolled outside to his waiting driver who had been parked for 90 minutes.
The ex-England and Manchester United skipper has told pals he is more than happy to work there.
The garden centre is the same venue where former Manchester United team-mate Carlos Tevez was ordered to work after he was banned four years ago.
