John Rooney orchestrated one of the greatest FA Cup giant-killings, leading non-league Macclesfield to a stunning victory over Crystal Palace. This achievement marks a significant moment for John, who has often lived in the shadow of his famed brother, Wayne Rooney. Adding to the narrative, John's wife, Casey, shares a notable resemblance to Wayne's wife, Coleen.
Both Rooney brothers married childhood sweethearts from their native Liverpool. While Wayne achieved global football stardom, John forged a career in the lower leagues before transitioning into management. He now leads Macclesfield, the club where he recently retired as a player, achieving a career-defining win.
The Rooney family has deep roots in Liverpool's Croxteth area, where John and Casey continue to reside with their three children. This FA Cup triumph not only highlights John's managerial prowess but also brings his personal life, including his family connections and his wife's own impressive swimming past, into the spotlight.
