But did you know that before his transplant Rooney tried some other hair restoration methods?
It was reported that Wayne Rooney started taking the medication Propecia in 2009 after he became sick of other footballer’s jibes about his receding hairline.
However, Dr Michael Irwig from the University of Washington, has reported that he found the ingredient finasteride, which is found in Propecia, can cause persistent sexual dysfunction, including low sexual desire, erectile dysfunction and problems with orgasms.
