Davies Hails Influence Of 'Unbelievable' Rooney
Shop the Commemorative Range NOWTom Davies says sharing a dressing room with “unbelievable” Wayne Rooney is a boon for his development – although going to work with one of his boyhood idols every day took some getting used to for the teenager.
Davies enjoyed a coming-of-age campaign last season, when he broke into Everton’s first-team and started 18 of the Blues’ final 19 Premier League matches.
He is just old enough to remember Rooney’s first incarnation as a Toffees player and fondly recalls the day 15 years ago when the then 16-year-old announced himself to the nation with a stunning late goal at Goodison Park to check a formidable Arsenal team’s 30-match undefeated run.
