This weekend holds international world cup qualifiers in Football (AKA - Soccer). Being from England, it goes without saying; I support but also get very frustrated with the England football team. So you can imagine my delight this morning when I read that I need not worry too much about England anymore as we have Mr. T on the team. Mr. T?

That's right, Mr. T. OK, so not the real Mr. T who is famous for his fear of flying, but Mr. Wayne Rooney who has been nicknamed Mr. T because of that very reason. According to ex-England teammate Jamie Carragher, Wayne Rooney got dubbed as Mr. T after the 22 year old was screaming like a baby in a turbulent flight back on 2006. In Carragher's, tell all book, he explains how Rooney's wailing drowned out the cries of women and children. He says, "I'd never heard howling like it."
