Players enjoying a drink on a night out remains much the same part of English football culture now as it did in the 1980s, according to former Manchester United manager Ron Atkinson.
The Football Association is conducting a "proper investigation'' to establish what exactly England captain Wayne Rooney and any of its staff did on Saturday night at the team's base in The Grove Hotel.
Rooney has ''unreservedly'' apologised to interim England manager Gareth Southgate, the Football Association and football supporters in general following the emergence of ''inappropriate'' images.
It is alleged Rooney dropped in on a wedding party, with the Sun newspaper printing a photo appearing to show the Manchester United forward, wearing an England training top, looking the worse for wear.
