Wayne Rooney has busted a long-standing myth about Victoria Beckham after revealing the details of a night out in Madrid with the Spice Girl.
Despite being 10 years his senior and not overlapping at Manchester United, Rooney and David Beckham were teammates for six years as internationals and have a well documented friendship.
The duo shared the pitch together 39 times for England before Beckham's international retirement in 2009 with 115 caps.
Despite being an exceptionally decorated footballer, interest in Beckham's off field antics have taken priority over the last few decades, with his relationship to 'Posh Spice' putting the couple at the centre of media attention.
