FORMER Premier League goalkeeper Paddy Kenny once had his eyebrow bitten over a curry and trolled Wayne Rooney.
The 44-year-old played for the likes of Sheffield United, QPR and Leeds.

Kenny also famously trolled Wayne Rooney
Recalling some of his craziest stories from his days in football, Kenny opened up on the time he got into a fight over payment for a curry.
Reports in 2006 claimed tempers flared over finding out his wife cheated while he was away on Republic of Ireland international duty.
However, the keeper explained to The Guardian: “That was an absolute bulls*** story.
“It was nothing to do with that. It was just a fight over who was to pay for the curry.
“It was embarrassing, it was upsetting, it was hard to deal with and it was all being publicised while I was still trying to get my head around losing my family.
“So you feel like you’re being bombarded left, right and centre and yet you still have to try continuing to have a career at the top level in the Premier League. It was a difficult time.”
Manager Neil Warnock signed Kenny at five different clubs, but after the veteran boss left QPR, Mark Hughes was put in charge.
With the Welshman at the helm, the goalkeeper conceded one of the most iconic goals in history when Sergio Aguero won the title for Manchester City with the last kick of the 2011-12 season.
Kenny faced criticism for failing to stop the Argentine’s and Edin Dzeko’s effort just before.
Wayne Rooney, who believed he’d won the title that year, slammed QPR for throwing away the lead and said: “Paddy Kenny should have done better for a couple of the goals.”
But the stopper was having none of it, taking to social media to clip an image of him and the former striker together to suggest he looked better for his age.
Kenny captioned his trolling post: “36 v 44 Rooney must of let that Aguero goal get to him.”
In the former Championship winner’s autobiography The Gloves Are Off, he also recounts his drugs ban, encounters with managers and rumours he was sold by ex-Leeds owner Massimo Cellino as he thought the number 17 was unlucky, the day Kenny was born.
