Rooney gets hair transplant, promises pictures

Wayne Rooney's rapidly receding hairline has been a sensitive subject for him in recent years. He said as much when teammate Michael Owen cracked a joke about it on Twitter not long ago. Given that, it should come as no surprise that he decided to take action against his fleeing follicles.

It is, of course, none of our business what he does with his hair. But since invasions of privacy are what they do best, The Sun tracked him down and ran a front-page story on Saturday revealing Rooney's "secret visit" to a hair clinic for eight-hour treatments.

If only he did the same thing with reports of his prostitute-loving ways.

Wayne later said that he'll send out a picture of his new 'do on Monday morning Here's our best guess as to what he will look like...
