Soccer legend Wayne Rooney was arrested for drunk driving in England on Friday morning after cops stopped the superstar behind the wheel of a black VW beetle.
The 31-year-old pulled over the Everton striker around 2 AM in Cheshire (North West England) and determined he was over the legal limit to drive.
Rooney -- the all-time scoring leader for both the England national team and Manchester United -- was released and is due back in court on Sept. 18th.
What's worse ... Rooney was reportedly driving with a 29-year-old woman in the car at the time of his arrest.
