Rooney's 'three fights in two hours' at Glasto

The football season has long since passed but it’s good to see Wayne Rooney hasn’t lost his touch.
The Man Utd star racked up an impressive hat-trick at Glastonbury... getting embroiled in three fights in just over two hours.
Yep, surrounded by friends and family, including wife Coleen, the 25-year-old striker, well, struck a blow or three as drunken music fans heckled him towards the end of Elbow’s set on Saturday night.
Trouble flared at 9.20pm, when the player, who had been downing ciders all afternoon, began prodding a stubby little finger in the chest of a loud-mouthed Glasto-goer who had been mouthing off at his pals.
Drinks were flying, punches were thrown and expletives uttered before security waded in to break up the eight-man brawl, as Wayne was pulled from harm’s way.
A woman went flying to the mudded ground during the fight, allegedly after being punched by a member of the Rooneys' entourage.
Furious, Coleen turned on her Hunter wellies and stormed off.
When Wazza scurried off after her, the couple - who had, hitherto, been giggling and kissing all weekend - began arguing amongst themselves.
Continuing at the gates of the VIP hospitality area, Col, 25, then marched back to the group, leaving Wayne alone and in a huff.
This was their second tiff of the day.
Earlier, the pair had got into a hostile slanging match, and were seen pushing one another with the England star eventually snapping at his long-suffering missus: “Don’t push me.”
And as no Rooney occasion would be complete without an all-encompassing family scrap, Wayne’s brother, Graeme, clashed with his brother in law, Anthony.
It ended with Liverpool FC fan Ant telling Everton supporter, Graeme: “F-ing calm down.”
Elsewhere over the weekend though, the Liverpudlian star and Coleen were on their best behavior.
Staying in a £6,000 Winneebago at the Windinglake hotel, they happily watched bands including Mumford and Sons, U2 and Coldplay, and spent three hours ensconced in a drum 'n bass tent, throwing some dodgy shapes.
Yesterday the mum of one rustled up the group - totalling 12 in all - some bacon, before Tweeting: “It’s hot hot hot! Chilling with the gang and a cider!”
Last night a source close to the Rooneys said: “Fans had been bombarding Wayne all afternoon, demanding photos and autographs and it all got a bit much.
“He didn’t throw any punches though and if anything, Wayne was the one trying to defuse the heated situations.”
