Wayne Rooney’s son writes off £3000 golf buggy after driving it into lake

Wayne Rooney and his family have lived in their mansion near Knutsford since December 2021

Wayne Rooney’s £3,000 golf buggy bought to ferry the family around their 40-acre estate has been written off after his child drove it into a fishing lake.

The former England footballer and his wife Coleen live with their four sons – Kai, 14, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six – in a mansion near Knutsford, Cheshire.

It’s equipped with a TV room, snooker room, wine store, cinema, gym, swimming pool, stables, football pitch, tunnel to a six-car garage, and two man-made lakes.

One of those lakes was the final destination of a 4×4 buggy one of the Rooney sons accidentally drove into it.

No one was hurt in the crash that wrote off the buggy, shortly after Wayne flew off to become manager of DC United.

Wayne, 38, revealed the story to former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville on Sky Bet’s The Overlap, recorded at the Rooney house.

Neville asked: ‘Do you go swimming in that lake?’

Wayne replied: ‘I wouldn’t. We’ve had a golf buggy go in it.

‘The day I’ve gone to America as manager. I went to the airport and one of the kids, straight in.’

Although Wayne didn’t name the son responsible for the crash, fans believe it was likely the eldest, Kai.

His fondness for driving has been captured on camera before.

In June 2022, just a month before Wayne started with DC United, Kai shared a clip on Instagram showing him racing in a vehicle on a private road.

Captioned ‘Sunday be like’, in it he showed off his driving skills.
