VIDEO: Wayne Rooney tries to replicate THAT goal in blindfold challenge
MANCHESTER UNITED'S Wayne Rooney will forever be associated with the sensational overhead kick he scored against bitter rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford.
He was given the chance to replicate that memorable strike when he was put to the test in a telepathic football challenge organised by betting company bwin.
The class of 1999 aka Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole laid the gauntlet for Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez to showcase their skills.
The first part of the challenge revolved around the players passing to each other with the blindfold on.
Yorke and Cole muddled through but Rooney and Hernandez were a cut above when it came to the keepy-uppys.
The second half of the challenge tested the class of 2013 at their shooting skills
The second half of the challenge tested the class of 2013 at their shooting skills.
Rooney missed his first volley before firing the second into the top corner of the net and he collapsed to his knees in celebration afterwards.
