Football fame takes its toll on the family

Whilst Wayne and Coleen and Kit and Cass are in Poland the former Manchester United striker is recognised during a horse drawn cart ride in Krakow and is soon swamped for selfies and autographs.

Wayne admits his global fame makes life hard for him and his family.

He says: “I'm not a celebrity. People who know me know, know that I want to be as normal as possible. Back to when I was a kid, and you wanted to be a football player. That's all I ever wanted to do, and I didn't care about fame or money or whatever. I just wanted to be a football player. I think I'd be such a better husband, dad, person, friend without it. It affects places I go, things I do. I bought a mask I saw on TikTok [to use as a disguise], it looked incredible but it was terrible.”
