Divide between footballers and public growing - Dyche
Burnley boss Sean Dyche said he would understand if professional footballers refused to interact with the public in future in fear of becoming embroiled in a media storm like Wayne Rooney.
The England captain has dominated the headlines this week since pictures emerged showing him looking bleary-eyed after attending a wedding reception at the England team hotel after the World Cup qualifier against Scotland.
Rooney apologised to England interim manager Gareth Southgate and to the Football Association regarding the matter but on Saturday he described the media coverage of the incident as "disgraceful".
