ROONEY SMACKS A YONNER

Wayne Rooney has allegedly punched Blackburn's MIchal Gray in the face and given him a black eye. This happened last weekend after Gray apparently insulted the lovely Coleen and other female friends of Rooney. A 'spokesman' for the striker said:

"Wayne and Coleen were enjoying a night out with three other couples and were having a quiet dinner when Michael came up to their table uninvited," said a spokesman for the striker.

"Michael then began making a number of remarks which were offensive to Coleen and Wayne's other female guests.

"Several times, Wayne asked Michael to leave. It was a brief incident and as far as Wayne is concerned, he bears no ill-feeling towards Michael."

The Mirror reports that an onlooker said: "He'd (Gray) been drinking and said Wayne should share the girls around, suggesting two each. He became increasingly obnoxious.

"Wayne suddenly whacked him without getting out of his seat. Gray hit the deck and was removed by the bouncers."
