Welcome to the Wayne Rooney show.

Wayne Rooney, Kay Curd and me, Kelly Somers,

break down the biggest stories in the Premier League and beyond.

He's gone in quite quick, but he hasn't caught him high.

I just don't think it's the red card.

Plus, we'll hear the funniest and most outrageous stories from Wayne's career. I was going into positions and doing things I shouldn't have really been doing, but you do it because you feel like you have to, and I helped us drive on and win the FA Club. The Wayne Rooney Show. Watch an eye player, listen on sounds. BBC Radio 2, 10 to the top. First day is 10 to the top on Radio 2 and we're off to Fleet in Hampshire and we're saying good morning, Gareth Blake. Hello, Gareth. Good morning, Mark. How are you? Very good, thanks. How's your pop knowledge generally? Up and down. So certainly area is really good. So 80s usually quite good, but other than that can be a bit dodgy.

Well, we'll get to finding out just how good you are after we find out a bit about you. Tell us about the sport you've recently taken up midlife.

So tennis. So basically, we're in tennis and family. My husband and my youngest son both played it and I felt a bit left out. So I decided about two years

ago to start playing tennis as well. So just play it for fun, really. Have a real laugh at the local

tennis club. Don't play any matches. So it's just really that. And you once worked for Sony and

I'd like you to tell me about an interesting pop star encounter if you don't mind. Yeah, of course. So I used to work for Sony Ibo, which was their robotic dog. I remember. Huge in Japan and they tried to launch it in Europe. Didn't go as well over here. Not really. Not really. A head of its time, would you say? Yeah, I think so. I think weren't quite ready for it over here, so it's actually ahead of

its time. But it was really popular, sort of media-wise, so it was my glamorous era.

So I got to go to MTV Europe Awards and MTV shows over here. And at one point, I had to

demo it to celebrities, and I got the opportunity to demo it to Jerry Halliwell

and basically went through the processes and everything

what you could and couldn't do and she didn't really listen

because I told you you need to treat it like a real dog

but she then proceeded to pick it up by its head

so I had to actually tell her off for doing that.

Oh, that sounds like a fun encounter.

All right, we've got ten questions for you,
