I will never forget watching this game......................on RUclips 20 years late. Ill just have to settle for pretending I was watching it when I was 15 years old.
I will never forget this game and never forget where I was with my brother and mother on holiday screaming and shouting when rooney scored and knocking our drinks over. I was a few months younger than Rooney and I remember telling the barman that Rooney was the same age as me and he looked at me like I was a child compared to rooney who looked like a man in his mid 20s haha. great times. A truly iconic moment in football and in sport. It was the beginning of an incredible career. He went on to break many more records along the way after this. I remember being at a pre season game at goodison earlier in that season against some Spanish side and rooney took the same shot from the same position and it just skimmed the top of the bar and went over. It was a sign of things to come. Then I went to the first game of the season against Spurs where he set up Pembo for a goal and just smashed one over the bar himself late on in the game. Such an exciting talent. So glad I got to witness it but such a shame that he never truly lived up to his true potential, I think it was the broken foot in the euros against Portugal and then the broken foot again against Chelsea which did the damage. He seemed to lose a yard of pace and never ran at players like he used to. He should have been up there with Ronaldo and Messi with the natural talent he had, he just didn't look after his body like a true professional. He was the Ricky Hatton of football but Ronaldo is the Maywether of football, he lives it and breathes it.
Ronaldo and messi from 16 to 19 weren't as good as Rooney was at that age, I always thought Rooney wouldn't improve massively because he was world class as soon as he came on the scene
United did not improve him He became a water carrier for the diva Ronaldo, He sacrificed his talent for that diva IMHO if he had stayed at Everton for a couple of season then go abroad and later join Barca learn an education That is what he is doing in management Watch the TOFFEE TV interview
Everton FC, please show the full match of this season at home against Bolton or Blackburn. They were two of Rooneys greatest ever performances and two of the greatest performances i have ever seen from any player. He showed shades of Maradona in those games. Let the world see what we got to see in those early games.
Got to give Moyes his credit, he came in and changed the mindset from a club that was ebbing away (a bit like now) to a really hard nosed competitive team, the fans fed off that heart and endeavour. Just a shame we fell short a few times such as the 2008 League Cup Semis and the 2009 FA Cup Final. Just short of that little bit extra added financial muscle back then. If only this team had half the passion of 2002/03
love that Rooney goal but it does distract from how well Everton played that day. That Arsenal team hadn't lost in 7 Months, Gravesen went into beast mode at one point - lol! Incredible team performance.
Rooney and Jeffers on the pitch together, both Everton prodigies, both went to De la sale school together in croxteth, both had their England debuts together a few months after this game with Jeffers scoring. Jeffers just never lived up to the hype though as the original fox in the box. Both ended up back at Everton together with Jeffers coaching the youth team and Rooney playing for Everton. Sometimes things go full circle.
You know the 90s generation said this about the 00s the 80s said this about the 90s the 70s said this about the 80s. Everyone think their era was best so bore off
The difference is that back then not everyone was sitting there staring at iPhone all game and filming it instead of celebrating and enjoying the moment
@@jameshughes7633 spot on mate. Those scenes at full time you don’t get now for games in October , only title / relegation deciders. Now days full of people with signs asking for players shirts
Ripped a brand new coat on the Gwladys Street when Rooney scored that day. The thing cost me all my wages as a skint 19 year old, but it was worth it. My love for football has all but gone, but I'd love to be able to re-live that moment again.
I don't care what anyone says, Rooney was the best 16 year old to ever walk the planet. Him an Thierry Henry in his prime were the two best players in the league this season.
Rooney was a unreal talent at 16 and one that the country will arguably never see again. My only regret is we never got to have him during his best years
Great memories!!! Just a great pity it didn't really work out, for Wayne Rooney or us, on his return to the Blues so many years later!! (Was still usually the best player, mind.. and, in retrospect, Marco Silva clearly deciding he didn't need him, upon his arrival - moreover, I think just wanting to start putting his own 'stamp' on the team and squad! - didn't exactly work out for HIM, either, the muppet!!!)...
Dithering Dave.. Never could handle world class players He proved it managing man United.. Rooney should have left later to Barca.. United ruined him. He became a water carrier for Rinaldo We never saw Rooney dribble or show that imagination at United.. He was world class Moyes was a second division manager
No other manager has pulled up trees either since Moyes left Utd. Moyes was the best thing to happen to Everton in decades. We were relegation fodder for years until he turned the ship around with no money and had us fighting for European places every season.
@@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415 It doesn't matter if Rooney didn't get on with Moyes. What matters is the results the manager got and did he get the best out of his players. Clearly you have proven my point for me. You admit Rooney was class at Everton when Moyes was his manager. So clearly Moyes got the best out of him. And then funny enough when Moyes went to man utd Rooney had a great run of form. Rooney may not have got on well with Moyes but Rooney admits he was a nightmare to manage back then. Rooney apologized to Moyes for his behaviour and for what he said about him in his book. I think Rooney now in his older years respects Moyes and understands that he wanted what was best for him and the club.
@@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415And by the way, no one gave more chances to youth players than Moyes. Both Rooney and Vaughan broke the youngest PL goal scoring record under Moyes. Baxter became the youngest ever Everton player. Anichebe one of the youngest to score for Everton in Europe. Rodwell the youngest to play for Everton in Europe. Notice all these mediocre players over achieved under Moyes. Hardly any players went on to bigger and better things after Moyes apart from Rooney but you admit Rooney still under achieved while at man utd. Moyes punched well above his weight while at Everton and west ham the last couple of seasons. Moyes is an excellent manager and arguably pound for pound the best manager in the league. Top managers like Ancheloti, benitez could not do what Moyes was able to do even though they had more money to spend or had better players.
@@bieituns I respect your thoughts Moyes had some interesting pre season training,,, wading through the cold rivers of Austria TheUnited players were not for that.. I think Moyes like many Brits cant operate with maverricks like Rooney. Terry Venebles was the man,,, Look at Fakegate of England Grealish Rasford and Trent arnold,,,, He selects Henderson a nice boy yet not going to win a match. Thank you again... I personally think Everton should have stayed with Big Sam,,,, he is well read with medicine and psychology
Just watching the last 15 minutes you realise how soft football and the world has gone. Bet365 freely advertised on billboards Yorkie with the no woman sign Crunching tackles and nobody crying Fast, direct forward playing football Goalkeepers kicking long Don't see any of that anymore

Rooney came to visit me in Alder Hey a few days after this and gave me his boots from this game 💙

I was 14 n remember listening to it on the radio.
An iconic moment in just football commentary even, nevermind football itself 😂

I was there

Let the world see what we got to see in those early games.
I remember that Bolton game ,he was immense. 0-0 though I think ,so seems to have been forgotten rather .
Let's not forget the real story of that day. Birmingham City gaining a point away at West Brom.
Got to give Moyes his credit, he came in and changed the mindset from a club that was ebbing away (a bit like now) to a really hard nosed competitive team, the fans fed off that heart and endeavour.

he fell very short at united very short had his chance and blew it with seniors He sacked all the coaching staff BIG MISTAKE

Jeffers got a bad ankle injury he never recovered

nice to hear the shouts havent changed much
Great assist by Graveson for the Rooney goal. Landed perfectly on Rooneys toe.
Thank you Everton Football Club's Sharing, I pls look forward to have other match reply at 2002/2003 season~~~
A feel good story line written in Hollywood.
Rooney First Premier League Goal! ⚽
What impress me the most is the atmosphere of goodison this day. It was truely wonderful
Bring back old memories
Back when football clubs had an identity and football stadiums had an atmosphere.

Everton couldnt find someone better than li tie
Why does it say premier in 2 hours. And then starting at 19.00pm. It's now 16.50pm
Christ, I wish we had some of these players now! Plus Cahill
The shape of li tie's skull
Of course, he looked like he was 28 years old
Rooney vs arsenal love affair started here
This guy was the George Best of 00s in my opinion...Big striker
