Everton manager David Moyes is suing Wayne Rooney over comments made in the Manchester United star’s autobiography. Moyes issued a writ at the High Court claiming Rooney’s book – My Story So Far -had “injured his professional and personal reputation” and caused him distress.
The action relates to Rooney’s account of his transfer from Goodison Park to Old Trafford. Moyes is seeking an injunction stopping the offending passage of the book from re-published, and has also started libel proceedings against Rooney’s ghost writer, Hunter Davis, and publishers Harper Collins.
