WAYNE ‘SNUBBED BY ENGLAND PALS OVER HIS DRINKING’

-

NOT INVITED: Joe Hart at his 30th bday bash DISGRACED footballer Wayne Rooney is reportedly being SNUBBED by his teammates who call him ‘the new GAZZA’ over his drink-drive antics.

The Everton striker, 31, was arrested earlier this month behind the wheel of another woman’s car while over the limit.

But it’s not just wife Coleen, also 31, who’s been left embarrasse­d and furious over his actions.

Both Everton and his former England teammates are reportedly snubbing the Premier League ace because of his heavy drinking.

His latest arrest is the latest in a long line of booze-related run-ins and it’s led to some of his football pals turning their backs on him.

A source said: “His former England and Manchester United teammates are thought to have distanced themselves from him for months, because of his partying.

“They are thought to have been annoyed when he got drunk at a wedding while on England duty.

“He was one of the only England players not invited to Joe Hart’s 30th birthday party and this is thought to be because he is such a worry with his drinking.

“The England squad call him ‘the next Gazza’ because they think his drinking is taking him that way.

“His personal life is unravellin­g because of it.”

After his arrest behind the wheel of Laura Simpson’s car, she claimed she would have ‘ probably ended up shagging him’, leaving his marriage once again in tatters.

His current club, Everton, were also furious at their star man and reportedly gave him an hour-long dressing down as well as a whopping fine of £320,000.

In May, he apparently spent a night alone in a Manchester casino and was said to have blown £500,000 in just two hours.

A month earlier, he was spotted downing numerous pints of Stella while chatting to a mystery brunette until 3am while on a boozy session in Chester.

And he was forced to issue an apology after he was spotted drunk at a wedding where he allegedly partied until 5am while on internatio­nal duty with the England squad.

Although Coleen has been spotted without her wedding ring, it is widely thought she’ll forgive her husband as they’re currently expecting their fourth child together.
