Wayne Rooney has responded to a fan's genius Halloween costume of him. The Manchester United legend was left impressed after the fan recreated his iconic lolly-licking picture from 2003.
Rooney, who played for Everton at the time, was snapped by paparazzi while on holiday in Portugal with wife Coleen. He was caught licking a giant red lollipop as he walked down the street wearing a navy tank top, short shorts and sliders.
Taking the well-known image for inspiration, Alex Williamson got the look spot on as he posted a side by side comparison of the original image and his own take on it on Twitter, along with the caption: "Hallowooney."
