Steven Gerrard has congratulated Wayne Rooney after the Manchester United icon won the Player Career Award at the Globe Soccer Awards on Thursday evening.
Rooney, 37, and Gerrard, 42, were rivals for several years, as Liverpool endured many famous battles against bitter rivals United. Former England captain Rooney also played for Everton, Liverpool's Merseyside rivals, at the beginning and end of his glittering career.
Rooney was one of many footballers to be honoured at the 2022 Globe Soccer Awards. The ceremony, nicknamed the 'Dubai d'Or', has been held every year in Dubai since 2010 and dishes out many unique awards - including the Scout of the Year gong.
