Wayne Rooney's brother has been filmed beaming with his arm around Tommy Robinson on a night out.
Sources said the football star, 33, would be 'furious' after a video emerged of his younger brother Graham, 31, with the far-right activist in a Liverpool pub's toilets.
The footage shows Graham, who started out at the same youth team as his brother but never turned professional, grinning with the former EDL leader.
A third unidentified man appears on the other side of Robinson and shouts: 'Tommy Robinson's our new sponsor.'
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, replies: 'Go on Rooney', but Graham seems unable to speak and just smiles at the camera.
It came after Robinson held a rally speaking to thousands of supporters in a venue in the city which was attended by a heavy police presence.
Wayne Rooney has never explicitly stated his political views, but sources have told The Sun the striker is hugely embarrassed.
A friend told the newspaper: 'Wayne has spent the last 17 years sharing dressing rooms with players from every creed, colour and race.
