JOE Edwards will get a behind-thescenes look at how Wayne Rooney and his backroom staff prepare for Plymouth Argyle games while he is out injured.
The 34-year-old Pilgrims' captain is currently taking his UEFA A Licence course with a view to coaching and management when his playing career comes to a end. He plans to use his time while out of action to learn as much as he can so he can stand himself in good stead for the future.
