Wayne Rooney is coming home. The 31-year-old Manchester United legend will once again don the blue jersey of boyhood club Everton. In some aspects, it's like he never left.
“I’ve kept it quiet for the last 13 years but I’ve been wearing Everton pyjamas at home with my kids,” Rooney said after the transfer was announced.

In our society, a 31-year-old man probably should be past jammies at this point in his life (although, personally, sleep in whatever you think is comfortable, Wayne), particularly sports team-themed jammies. Not Wayne Rooney, though. Rooney is a blue through and through, from breakfast to bedtime. Especially at bedtime.
Speaking of bedtime, with Rooney replacing the departed Romelu Lukaku, it just might be bedtime for Everton's Champions League hopes. But at least Wayne Rooney will be comfotable in his Everton Jammies.
