Rooney Gets 2-Year Ban For Drink-Driving

Wayne Rooney has been banned from
driving for two years after pleading guilty
to drunk driving.



The 31-year-old Rooney, who plays for
Everton, was stopped by police while
driving near his home outside Manchester
earlier this month.



The former England captain entered his
guilty plea at Stockport Magistrates’ Court
on Monday.



Rooney is the all-time leading scorer for
England’s national soccer team and for
Manchester United.



He retired from the national team last
month. Rooney rejoined Everton, his first
club, this season after 13 years at Old
Trafford.


He won one Champions League
and five Premier League titles while at
United.



Rooney was also ordered
to perform 100 hours of
unpaid work as part of a
12-month community order.
