Former England captain and Manchester United star, Wayne Rooney has been banned from driving for two years and given 100 hours' community service after pleading guilty today to a drink-driving charge.
The Everton striker was stopped by police while driving 29-year-old party girl Laura Simpson home from a night out in her Volkswagen Beetle in Wilmslow, Cheshire, at 2am on September 1.
Rooney’s pregnant wife Coleen and their three sons were on holiday in Mallorca at that time.

Today, the Stockport Magistrates' Court heard Rooney was stopped because Miss Simpson's car had a faulty brake light and his breath reading was 104mg per 100ml of blood. The legal limit is 35mg.
The former England captain was handed a 24-month driving ban and given 100 hours' community service as part of a 12-month community order.
In a statement issued after the plea the striker, apologized for his 'unforgivable lack of judgment'.
Rooney said: 'Following today's court hearing I want publicly to apologise for my unforgivable lack of judgment in driving while over the legal limit. It was completely wrong.
'I have already said sorry to my family, my manager, and chairman and everyone at Everton FC. Now I want to apologise to all the fans and everyone else who has followed and supported me throughout my career.
'Of course, I accept the sentence of the court and hope that I can make some amends through my community service.'
In reply, the judge told him: 'I accept your remorse is genuine. I accept the effects this has had in you and your family.'
Rooney's lawyer, Michael Rainford, said he 'expresses his remorse for a terrible error of judgment'.
According to him, ‘ it's 'likely he will be fined by Everton, probably two weeks' salary' - which amounts to around £300,000.

I WONDER WHY SOME PEOPLE PLAY WITH THEIR LIVES BY DRINK-DRIVING.

True equality means holding everyone accountable in the same way, regardless of race, gender, faith, ethnicity or political ideology

Nigeria no dey arrest celebrity sef... Hardly.

This is a country that is sane.
A country that no one is above the law.
A country that doesn't make itself a slave forever under immunity clause.

If Jay Jay Okocha committed the same offence, I wonder if they can send him to Jail for 2 years

Kkkk

useless player

The full story be say

He had a scuffle with his wife. She refused to come to watch him play for a match he considered "very important". Rooney goes off to play, his wife didn't show up with the two boys, claiming she's "pregant and couldn't cope".

After the match, Rooney gets over the bar to get high. He hooks up with a babe who also happens to be a star too. He was dropping the babe off when police caught him.

Finally, the wife is threatening divorce.

Its a rough stage for Rooney now.
