He was once the youngest goalscorer in the Premier League after scoring a last minute goal against Arsenal, while playing for Everton when he was just 16 years old.
So it's no surprise, that Wayne Rooney was thrilled to see his 10-year-old son Kai following in his footsteps and pursuing his own love for the game during a recent football training session.
The dad-of-four shared a video of Kai in action on the pitch to his Instagram page and instantly had fans branding the youngster a 'future star'.
In the clip, Kai is seen being put through his paces while sporting his training kit and bright blue personalised football boots.
