Wayne Rooney's brother John revels in his newfound fame with dazzling smile on Gary Neville's podcast - and says he's loving being on the TV after becoming unlikely FA Cup hero

John Rooney became the unlikely hero of the FA Cup third round when his Macclesfield side knocked out holders Crystal Palace - and he says he's loving being on the TV.

The 35-year-old brother of Man United legend Wayne was installed as manager of the Silkmen last July, and has already written himself into the history books by claiming the biggest scalp in FA Cup history.

And with money hard to come by in the National League North, where Macclesfield now ply their trade after being formed as a phoenix club of Macclesfield Town, Rooney is delighted that his side are now raking in the broadcast money.
