London, Sep 9 (ANI): Star footballer Wayne Rooney tried to utilise the flower power to win back his wife Coleen after blaming her for his philandering.

Previous reports revealed that he had bizarrely tried to blame his wife for his hooker romps, claiming she stopped having sex with him while she was carrying their son Kai.

“Like many men, Wayne felt a bit left out in the cold while Coleen was pregnant. He told his pals that he had to look elsewhere for sex, as he wasn’t getting it at home. And he said it was better to have meaningless sex with a nobody than a fully-fledged affair,” the Daily Star quoted an insider as saying.

After touching down in Manchester from Switzerland, where the striker helped England win 3-1 in their Euro 2012 qualifier, he spent the morning mulling over his marriage.

A van full of red flowers reached their residence so that Coleen can be pacified but a source informed: “Even if Wayne fills the entire house with flowers it may not be enough to stop his marriage wilting.” (ANI)
