In light of Lloris's drink driving I was reading a piece on other top flight footballers who have broken the law on the road.

One name popped up more than once:

In September 1997, Ferdinand was convicted of drink-driving and given a one-year driving ban. He had been breathalysed after driving on the morning after a night out, and was found to be one point over the limit.

In March 2003, Ferdinand was given another six-month ban from driving, and fined £2,500 and six penalty points for driving at an average of 92 mph (148 km/h) along the M1.[148] In May 2005, he was criticised by a magistrate as he received his fourth ban from driving and a fine of £1,500, after being caught by traffic police "travelling at an average of 105.9 mph (170.4 km/h) over a distance of nearly two miles" on the M6 motorway. Upon setting the penalty, the magistrate said Ferdinand "should be a positive role model for young people in society and this does not give out the right message". It followed two previous bans for speeding, in 2002 and 2003

United star Rio Ferdinand has been fined for speeding just a week after completing a six-month driving ban.

Ferdinand, 34, was handed a £200 fine and three penalty points by Stockport magistrates after admitting being snapped travelling at 48mph in a 40mph zone in the town.

The defender – who has been banned from the road FOUR times – was caught in his Jaguar XJ Supersport V8 on the A34 Kingsway at 8.41pm on August 19 last year by a road traffic officer.

Just nine days later he was convicted of three separate speeding offences which took place less than six weeks apart on the same stretch of road in January and February 2012.

But as the Old Trafford stalwart was banned under the ‘totting up’ system, the points have now been wiped from his record – leaving him with a clean licence once again until his latest appearance.

 
Mrs Vienna has just seen a post on Facebook, telling how rags in a pub were cheering when the buswreckers scored yesterday.

YCMIU.
