Another said: “We could have lived in a world where Wayne Rooney and Kim Kardashian went up against lawyers in an international court case.
A third joked: ‘Wanting to be a lawyer and then being blocked by Colin is one of the greatest football tragedies of all time, just imagine the backlash in court.’
Someone else asked as they shared a series of crying face emojis: “Wayne Rooney wanted to be a lawyer? #This morning.’
Others shared pictures of Wayne transformed into a lawyer outfit as they laughed at the revelation.
Wayne revealed that he had gotten so caught up in preparing for the trial that he wanted to change careers until Coleen shut him down.
Wayne would often attend daily briefings with Colleen and her lawyers, Paul Lunt and David Sherborne, where he would propose legal arguments.
After one particular interjection from her husband, Colleen recalls telling him, “Wayne shut up and let David or Paul do the talking.”
She said: “Then he was going to apply to law school and he had all these plans,” before adding that the “little moments” carried them.
