Wayne Rooney has admitted he “enjoyed” fighting as a teenager and would go out expecting to get into bother.
On one occasion Wayne says his jaw was “snapped” in a fight in Manchester when he was just 13, the Mirror reports.
The former Everton star said he "wasn't the nicest kid at that age".

In new Amazon documentary Rooney, Wayne said he had "a lot of fights" when he was younger.
He said: "I wouldn’t say that I was a bully but I would say there were some things I done which I shouldn’t have done. I crossed the line looking back now.
“I don’t know whether it was an anger or an enjoyment in it. Obviously sometimes you got hit and it is not nice but I used to get some kind of enjoyment out of it.
“I remember growing up I used to go to a lot of concerts. Travis concerts, Stereophonics, Cast. There was normally a lot of fighting at the end of it.
“You can imagine in the middle of a mosh pit and there’s probably about 15 of us all Scousers and we could be in the middle of Manchester, always end up being a fight between some of them.
“I remember I got my jaw snapped in Manchester. I was about 13 and some guy grabbed hold of me and hit me and he went to hit me again and I just ducked and threw a big haymaker, caught him and then I ran off.”
Rooney, who had the Stereophonics play at his wedding to wife Coleen, has now matured and is earning praise as manager of Derby County.
But he admits in the new Amazon documentary he was quite a handful as a cheeky kid growing up.
Asked if he went out knowing there would be fights at the music concerts, Wayne adds: “We knew there was a chance. We used to go Southport and fight a lot as well.
"I have come back from Southport with me eye all stitched up and my mum weren’t happy. I was probably about 12.
“You get taught you have to fight to survive and I don’t mean physically fight but you have to fight, you have to work harder than everybody else.
“It’s almost like we’re not gonna get any favours really from the government or from any people in power that you have to make your own way of living.
"I think for kids at that age who do have any sort of goals or ambitions you can take it a bit literally that ‘you have to fight’. I think sometimes that did boil over and that did happen.”
Rooney launches on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, February 11
