Video: 'Wayne Rooney broke my wrist' Wayne Rooney has apologised to the nine-year-old football fan after his off-target kick went into the crowd breaking the young spectator's wrist. Jamie Thomas, from Wem in Shropshire, was sitting in the front row during Manchester United's away game against Wolves at Molineux when he put up his arm to deflect the stray ball. Despite the pain, the young fan continued to watch the game for an hour before seeking first aid. Rooney used his Twitter page to say sorry to the schoolboy.
