Wayne Rooney began his career with Everton, joining their youth team at age ten. He made his professional debut in 2002 and his first goal made him the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history at that time.

He spent two seasons at the Merseyside club, before transferring to Manchester United at the start of the 2004 season for £25.6 million.

He has since won the Premier League three times, the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League and two League Cups.

Rooney made his England debut in 2003 and has now appeared more than 50 times for his country, clocking up a total of 25 goals.

Now at the age of 24, he is on top-form and has celebrated 32 goals already this season – two of which were during Man U’s 3-0 win over Fulham at Old Trafford over the weekend.

Despite holding driving licenses for just six years, Wayne and Coleen have had a spectacular car collection. And like most people, the England star had to start somewhere.

Check out who’s been spotted driving what – and been caught by parking wardens – in the gallery below:

In 2003, a fresh-faced 17-year-old Rooney was presented with a Ford Sportka. With its 1.6-litre engine, the diminutive Ford could get Wayne from 0-62mph in 9.7 seconds.

After the Ford there’s been no stopping the United star as he quickly climbed the pecking order for footballers’ cars. A BMW M3, VW Golf R32, Cadillac Escalade, Chrysler 300C, BMW M6 and a BMW X5 have all graced Rooney’s front drive.

But when Rooney transferred to Manchester United, he needed to up his motoring game to keep up with the likes of Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cue supercars, off-roaders and modified motors.

He has since owned a £170,000 Aston Martin Vanquish S, a 582bhp Mercedes CLK DTM AMG, a black Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, an Audi RS6 Avant, a Bentley Continental (and a convertible GTC version for Coleen), a Mercedes G55 AMG, a hardcore Mini GP, a supercharged Range Rover and an Overfinch-tuned Range Rover Sport.

Wayne Rooney’s Audi RS4 Quattro Cabriolet is advertised for sale by Lloyds Platinum of Colne, Lancashire, for £43,995.

There are currently more than 120 used Audi RS4s, 80 used R8s, 280 used A8s and more than 1,800 used TTs for sale.
