Rooney said he had entered a dangerous phase of his life and did not want to burden others with his personal problems.
" There came a time when I was overdoing it. There was a period when I was struggling with alcohol. I couldn't talk to anyone, I didn't want anyone to carry my burden. I truly believe that if she wasn't there for me (my wife), I would be dead."
"She never controlled me, but she helped me control myself. She is the best person I could have met. I didn't know how to handle the pressure; I felt like I was letting everyone down. Alcohol was my salvation ," the English attacking legend declared.
