Teddy Sheringham is worried that Wayne Rooney could one day seriously injure himself because of his all-action style...Legendary Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham, who famously downed Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final with a last minute goal and then an even later assist, has explained that English powerhouse forward Wayne Rooney risks an injury similar to the one that Paul Gascoigne sustained nearly two decades ago due to his unapologetic battling bulldog spirit.
In the 65th minute of England's 2-1 victory over visiting Ukraine on Wednesday evening, Rooney challenged Oleksandr Aliyev, but followed through on the player once he won the ball.
In the aftermath of the game, Sheringham believes Rooney needs to start exercising caution.
The former England international told This Is London, "Wayne won the ball but the actual follow-through is terrible and on three fronts he was lucky.
"First of all he didn't injure the player badly, secondly he didn't get sent off, and thirdly he could have injured himself.
"It was similar to how ‘Gazza’ did his knee and he was never the same," Sheringham warned. “He could end his career with a challenge like that.”
