Wayne Rooney wees up wall of posh London street in front of passersby
He was caught short on a night out.
Wayne Rooney was rather embarrassingly caught short as he urinated up against a wall while on a night out with pals this weekend.
The former professional footballer paused to relieve himself in the street in London, in view of passersby, while enjoying an evening with friends.
Ex-England and Manchester United star Wayne, 39, headed across the road to unzip his trousers and do his business, with his phone held up to his face and its light seen shining on his cheek.
Dressed smartly in a dark suit, white shirt and tie, he grinned to his party as he crossed the road after peeing on the pavement as a cyclist among others moved past him.
Wayne spent a few hours at The Nest rooftop bar and terrace at the Treehouse Hotel London in Marylebone with his friends, following an appearance as a pundit on Match of the Day on Saturday night.
The group then moved onto dinner and further drinks at Novikov restaurant and bar in Mayfair, an upscale venue with Asian and Italian menus as well as a lounge with live DJs where there’s a minimum spend per head and group.

It’s not the first time Rooney has been seen urinating publicly after he was photographed apparently reliving himself in Manchester against a bin in 2013.
If caught in the act by officers or any are complaints made by witnesses, the ex-Plymouth Argyle manager could risk prosecution and a fine depending on local bylaws.
MailOnline reported that the Met Police confirmed that no complaints about the footballer’s behaviour have been reported.

The council had previously revealed its bill for cleaning up the streets of urine was costing nearly £950,000 a year.
Metro has contacted representatives of Wayne Rooney for comment.
