Baby Kai Rooney 500-1 to play for England
The new baby Shrek is 500-1 to grow up and play for England - not much of a price when you consider his dad managed only one of the two.
Kai Rooney was born yesterday - just like his father - and no-one celebrated more than bookies Hills who for months had been betting on the name of the new arrival but who didn't take a single penny on the name he was given.
You'd have thought his old man, a keen punter, might have backed the winner but I hear Hills have voided his bet on 'Rooney.'
Poor Coleen - night after sleepless night with a dribbling, drooling infant, and now another one to contend with.
Rooney missed training yesterday when Coleen went into labour, phoning the doctor to tell him her contractions were only five minutes apart.
"Is this her first baby?" the doctor asked.
"No, this is her husband," Roo replied.
Kai is 100-1 with Hills to play Premier League football and 125-1 (just 33-1 with Ladbrokes) to play for Manchester United. He's already been drafted into Arsenal's Carling Cup squad.
