Paul Ince: Former England and Liverpool star Paul Ince handed fine and ban after admitting to drink-driving offence | Football News


The former captain of England Paul Ice was forbidden to drive and sentenced to £ 7,085 after admitting the drink.

Friday, the 57-year-old man appeared to Chester Magistrates short where he admitted to having led his Range Rover Black when he was above the limit on June 28 in Neston, Cheshire.

District judge Jack McGarva told Ince: “The message must be if you are going to drive, you don’t drink at all.”

It was forbidden to drive for 12 months, sentenced to a fine of £ 5,000 and ordered to pay a legal surcharge of £ 2,000 and £ 85 of costs.

When he arrived at the court, he signed an autograph with a fan and posed for a selfie with another.

Ince had a reading of 49 micrograms of alcohol in 100 milliliters of breath when he was arrested by police after driving on Chester High Road, the court said.

Nigel Jones, continuing, said: “The day in question, the accused was observed by a police officer on leave leading a vehicle perceived as moving away from the other side of the road.”

He said that the car has swerved through the central reserve, hitting the terminals and bursting two tires.

The car then stopped in a gas station where the police participated.

Frank Rogers, in defense, said: “My client finds himself faced today with the enormous impact of a ban, but he accepts that he only has to blame for this.

“He badly judged the fact that he believed when he was under the limit.”

Mr. Rogers said that Ince had been at the Heswall Golf Club for a competition and had not eaten before taking two glasses in the clubhouse.

He said, “He felt like driving, of course, we now know that he shouldn’t have done it.”

He said that when he returned home, Ince was approaching a roundabout at around 20 MPH when his phone slipped and he joined it and violated the car, cut the sidewalk.

He said: “The vehicle did not collide with the terminals. He cut the two sides of the island, damaging the tires.”

He said that an alert appeared on the car on tire pressure and that the fine was approaching a garage where he inspected the damage, called his wife and was about to call the line of assistance to the Range Rover assistance when the police arrive.

Mr. Rogers said that Ince has been driving for 39 years and had three points on his license.

He is a visitor and a frequent supporter of the future charity of the youth area in Dagenham, where he grew up, and also supports Claire House Children’s Hospice in Wirral, he told.

Mr. Rogers described Ince’s player career and said he had then entered management.

He added: “He now makes a limited amount of media work and charity work.” He said that Ice wanted to apologize to the court.

The district judge McGarva said: “I will assume that he has substantial assets, given the player career you have described for me.”

Mr. Rogers said: “He may well have substantial assets but certainly not substantial income.”

While leaving the court, Ince gave a piece of paper to a journalist with a photo of the central reserve and terminals.

The former West Ham midfielder, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Liverpool won 53 selections for his country.

After his retirement, he moved in the direction, more recently for reading between 2022 and 2023.
