Lingard banned from driving for six months

Former Manchester United footballer Jesse Lingard has been fined £900 and disqualified from driving for six months.

Lingard, 30, whose contract with Nottingham Forest ended in June, appeared at Manchester Magistrates’ Court to admit the offence during a brief hearing.

He was charged after failing to provide details to identify the driver of his Range Rover caught speeding by police in August last year.

Frank Rogers, representing Lingard, said he was not the driver of the speeding car but missed the letter telling him to provide the drivers’ details as it went to his old address in Manchester while he was then living in Nottingham.

He was liable to be disqualified under the ‘totting-up’ process as he had points from two previous speeding offences.

District Judge Jane Hamilton fined him £900 with a further £560 in costs and warned him not to drive for the next six months.
