FOOTIE legend Wayne Rooney has been booted into third place in the Soccer Aid shirt auction – by a boyband heartthrob and a rising telly star.
The former England skipper's signed shirt is currently sitting at £1,578, but that's still miles behind the top two.

Bella Ramsey was amongst celebrities out there at Old Trafford this year
One Direction star Louis Tomlinson is topping the leaderboard with a whopping £5,364 bid for his England top – despite barely touching the ball on the pitch.
Coming in second is Bella Ramsey, the breakout star of The Last of Us and Game of Thrones, whose shirt has pulled in an impressive £1,731.
But it's not just Rooney who's struggling to get to the top in the footie world – Brazil legend Rivaldo's shirt is number five, with a bid of £809.
The former Barcelona man is surprisingly beaten into fourth by Twitch streamer Morgan Burtwistle, better known online as AngryGinge.
Even more surprising, though, is the fact there's no place in the top 10 for former Manchester City star Carlos Tevez.
Fans have been scrambling to snap up the signed shirts from this year's charity clash, which raised £15.28million for UNICEF.
But Rooney's spot behind Louis and Bella has raised a few eyebrows – especially considering he's England's all-time top scorer.
It just shows how fast the world of fame moves – especially when you step out of the limelight.

Louis has a cult-like following, and his fans are proving they'll do anything to get their hands on his kit.
And Bella's fanbase is booming after she has been smashing it on screen.
The auction is still live but with bids flooding in it looks like pop power and screen stardom are winning this match.

Three years later, the Dunblane star repeated the incredible feat, this time beating Canadian Milos Raonic for a second Championship. To honour his illustrious achievements, a statue will be a permanent part of the SW19 grounds and is set to go public in 2027, which is the 150th anniversary of the first Championships Current chair Debbie Jevans revealed the information on the ainslie + ainslie Performance People podcast, which is hosted by former Sky Sports news presenter Georgie Ainslie.

'And the ambition is that we would unveil that on the 150th anniversary of our first Championships, which was 1877, so would be in 2027. 'It will be (lovely). He's rightly got to be very involved in that and him and his team will be.' Fred Perry was a three-time singles champion before the Second World War and was the last British man to lift the famous trophy before Murray.

Andy Murray starts new career as agony aunt as he reveals details of 'terrible' first date with wife Kim 4 Murray, who had career-saving hip surgery in January 2019, quit the sport last summer after he lost in the doubles competition of the Paris Olympics. His final match at Wimbledon was a year ago when he lost in the first round of the men's doubles tournament alongside elder brother Jamie Murray. Tears flowed as Murray spoke to Sue Barker on court about his career and memories of the Championships as his former rivals came out to pay their respects. Jevans said: 'You always wanted and you always hoped for a British winner. Of course, you do. We are all patriotic. 'Andy had won the 2012 Olympics before here and had that experience on Centre Court. 'And we were hoping that maybe that could help him with winning the Wimbledon title (in 2013). 'When he won it was so special. So special for him, so special for us, as a club. 'Now he has retired we are very much looking to how we can embrace him to be part of the club in the long term. 'We had a great celebration for Andy when he played his last match, which was on Centre Court. 'All the old players came and they greeted him and Sue Barker interviewed him.'

‘Relentless, unstoppable' Aidan O'Brien horse retired after flopping completely
He's off to stud in Australia Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A 'RELENTLESS, unstoppable' Aidan O'Brien horse has been retired after just TWO runs under the Ballydoyle boss. Storm Boy was dubbed a 'freak' by his handler in the build-up to his Irish debut. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Storm Boy never lived up to his hype in two runs for Aidan O'Brien and has now been retired to stud Credit: PA But the mega-money arrival from Australia flopped completely in the Group 2 Greenland Stakes, finishing dead last. Storm Boy was then backed in for last Saturday's Platinum Jubilee Stakes but finished a dismal tenth of 15 under Ryan Moore - meaning he beat just four horses in two runs. Loads had been expected of the five-time winner who was sent to Ballydoyle on the back of Group 3 and Group 2 wins in Australia. But he has now been retired to stud Down Under. Coolmore Australia's principal Tom Magnier said: "We are delighted to welcome Storm Boy back to Coolmore Australia for the 2025 season. "His early performances on the track really had to be seen to be believed. "He was jaw-dropping, much like his sire Justify, he broke his opponents' hearts! "He won five of his first seven starts in a really dominating fashion and was unlucky not to include a Golden Slipper in that tally." More to follow.
