WAYNE ROONEY FOCUS OF NEW AMAZON DOCUMENTARY

Amazon Prime Video has announced new documentary about England’s all-time top goal scorer and Derby County manager, Wayne Rooney.



The biopic features previously unseen archive footage of Rooney’s childhood, looking at his relationship with his family, his Sunday League days with Coppelhouse Boys and his first moments in an Everton shirt.



Also announced was Lioness: The Nicola Adams Story. The film explores the life and success of the record-breaking female boxer. Nicola explores her upbringing, motivations and key life events that shaped her into a world champion athlete as well as opening up on her battles with public racism and homophobia.


Speaking of the commissions, Marie Donoghue (Vice President of Global Sports Video, Amazon) said: "We know the UK has some of the most passionate sports fans in the world, and we’re dedicated to growing our portfolio across live sports and original content to give them more of what they love."



Rooney will land on Amazon Prime Video in 2022. More details will be revealed in due course.
