Rooney Says He Once Locked Coleen Out Over Liverpool Title Flags

Rooney shared the tale on his BBC podcast to show how the Merseyside rivalry cuts through his own household.

Overview

  • Rooney recounted that in 2020, after Liverpool’s Premier League triumph, he came home to find flags on their house and briefly locked Coleen outside while she took them down.
  • He said the lockout lasted “not too long,” framing it as a light moment tied to his deep Everton loyalties.
  • The story was told on The Wayne Rooney Show and rapidly circulated by major UK outlets after the episode aired.
  • Coleen playfully responded on social media by reposting the clip along with a photo of the Liverpool champions’ flag.
  • Rooney used the anecdote to discuss derby pressures, noting he hated the build-up, never won a Merseyside derby as an Everton player, and that Coleen’s parents still display champion flags.
