Manchester United right back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been slammed with a six-month ban and more than £30000 fine for driving related offences.
The defender, 24, admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance having been stopped by police in Manchester in June this year.
He also pleaded guilty to failing to provide his details for two speeding offences in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in September last year.
Wan-Bissaka's lawyers said he was in a "state of complete ignorance" about the offences he committed in 2020, as the letters detailing the offences were sent to his previous home in Croydon.

The footballer moved from Croydon-based Crystal Palace to Manchester United in 2019.
His legal team stated that issues like changing his postal address were handled by his agent. He was sent "six or seven" letters by the court, but matters may have been complicated by the fact his old address was undergoing building work, the court heard.
He already had six points on his licence due to a conviction in London in April 2020.
