Ex Manchester City, Chelsea and England footballer, Shaun Wright Phillips has been fined for driving a £50k Range Rover with no driving licence.
And he once avoided a prison sentence for disqualified driving by claiming he never knew he was banned.
This was when he missed a number of court summonses after his Bentley was clocked at a speed of 79mph in a 50mph zone.
The court heard that all the letters had been sent to his agent’s house and he had no knowledge of them.
After avoiding a potential jail sentence, he was eventually fined £800 and promised to always open his post in the future.
In relation to the present driving licence matter, the case was dealt with administratively and he was fined £220 along with an order to pay costs.
Wright Phillips now plays for US team, New York Red Bulls.
