WAYNE ROONEY says he has drawn a line under his John Terry 'Stud-gate' row after receiving a warning from the FA over the controversy.
In a no-holds-barred Amazon documentary, Rooney confessed he switched to the longest studs legally possible ahead of a 2006 clash between Manchester United and Chelsea because he ‘wanted to try and hurt someone’.
John Terry left the stadium on crutches following a challenge with Rooney and the FA stepped in to ask the Derby County boss for his observations.
However Rooney was let off with a warning after the Rams boss wrote to explain why his comments had been misinterpreted.
He explained his comments centred around his mood in the build-up to the game – but did not apply to the Terry tackle which he insists was a fair 50-50 challenge.
Rooney said: “I am happy it is over and done with. I obviously gave my response to the FA.
“They have given me a warning, that is it, the matter is put to bed. We move on from that.
“I came out and spoke my mind about what I was feeling at that period of time in my life.
