Wayne Rooney supports UNICEF's #BeatDisease campaign


09 06 2015

Wayne Rooney, Gary Cahill, Jack Wilshere and Phil Jagielka have teamed up with UNICEF to launch the charity's #BeatDisease campaign.

The England footballers have revealed what they wanted to be when they were five, as part of the initiative to beat childhood diseases. Rooney commented 'When I was very little I was quite shy but I remember wanting to be a singer. I'd never have imagined being able to achieve the things I've done, representing England and even captaining my country. Due to disease, millions of children aren't even able to reach their fifth birthday, which is absolutely shocking'.
