Wayne Rooney reveals he is finding his drink-drive punishment of community service in a garden centre both "refreshing" and "relaxing."

The Everton man was ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work in September, after admitting to being almost three times over the legal limit when pulled over by local authorities.

The breathalyser test showed his alcohol level was 104 micrograms in 100 millilitres of breath. The drink-drive limit in England and Wales is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath.

The Former Manchester United and England captain claims he has been made to feel welcome at his temporary workplace and is "really enjoying" his time there, according to BBC Sport.

The Everton skipper was banned from driving for two years on September 18th and was ordered to pay £170 when he appeared at Stockport Magistrates' Court.

Rooney - who now earns £150,000 a week - told Talksport: "I knew straight away I had made a stupid mistake and I have to move on."
