The Next Wayne Rooney

[mcgillianaire]

One day, we might be asked a trivia question: Who is Rhain Davis? If you didn't until now, you will have after this post.

9-year old Rhain Davis used to play for Brisbane club, Redlands United. That was before his grandfather sent a DVD to Manchester United of his grandson in action. The Mancunians were impressed and now Davis is part of United's youth academy; along with 29 other nine-year-olds in this year's batch recruit. But The Sun has already dubbed him the next Wayne Rooney. For that, only time will tell. For now, enjoy the footage that has more than 3 million hits on YouTube, and impressed the good men at Old Trafford.

That kid has far too many skills (and his own Wikipedia article - how many 9-year-olds have one of those?) for his own good.

The really frightening part of that video was how much of it seems to have been drawn from one game - the one against the team in the yellow shirts. Something tells me the parents of the other team in that game would've wanted to kill him afterwards.
