Chavtastic footballer Wayne Rooney and Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville share a liking for two extra-curricular activities: Horse racing and entertaining grannies.
Whilst Rooney’s £200,000 investment in three horses produced just one win according to a report in 2013, a horse that Bonneville invested in as part of the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing Petrushka Syndicate had a “fantastic ride” and got a “super” result in the same year.
Now, after later forays into racing in 2014 and in the wake of the Derby County manager being photographed sleeping whilst women mooned next to him, a post on Twitter by The Winners Enclosure that asked: “If Wayne Rooney was a racehorse… What would you call him?” has gone viral.
Two stories to keep beside you
Who’s Davy Jones? Rebekah Vardy v Coleen Rooney 2022
Matthew Steeples suggests ‘Wagatha Christie’ Coleen Rooney is made of more grit than ‘Chatty Rat’ Rebekah Vardy; that the latter asked “Who’s Davy Jones?” and turned on the tears in court is simply illustrative that she’s a true own goaler.

Wayne and Coleen Rooney buy a caravan – They should have bought the entire park
The responses are brilliant and today we join all those suggesting that rather than seeking an injunction, it would be better if Rooney and Bonneville for a bit of tag-teaming on the turf.
Twitter Answers: “If Wayne Rooney was a racehorse… What would you call him?”
The footballer bought two horses when he was 17. He tried to call them ‘Hoof Hearted’ and ‘Norfolk Enchants,’ but the Jockey Club rejected these names.
Twitter users have gone wild suggesting new names for horses for him after ‘moon-gate’ and amongst them are:
Sleepy Wayne
Granny Shaggar
Shag A Nan A Lot
OAP Rooney
Mooney Rooney
Nanny Rider
Horneighhhhhhh
Granny Basher
