Rooney bought a couple off no.3 didn't he? But then his brain cogs started slowly whirring and he sussed out that he hadn't made the greatest investment of all time.

Owen introduced Rooney and a number of other England players to Steve Smith at the start of the season after becoming tired of running the team gambling school.
Until then Owen handled the bets, but the sums of money involved became too large and he instead recruited Smith to take care of matters. Smith set up a private bookmakers called Goldchip Ltd, but it was only last Thursday that he obtained a gambling licence. Before that, he is said to have been acting as a betting agent on behalf of Rooney, Owen and a number of other players — believed to include John Terry, Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand. Fortunately the current young breed are more into world of warcraft or whatever the latest game is than proper gambling, thus promoting a greater sense of harmony within the squad which can carry our boys all the way to world cup glory |

Brian Labone - was at least part-owner of Goodison (maybe with Alan Ball). I think it was a 7f horse, and won at Chester, possibly more than once.
