Ex-England goalkeeper Peter Shilton admits drink-drive charge

Quote:
England's most capped footballer Peter Shilton has been banned from driving for 20 months after pleading guilty to a drink-driving offence.
Magistrates in Colchester also ordered him to pay fines and costs totalling £1,020.
During the hearing, lasting 15 minutes, the court heard he was found to have more than double the legal amount of alcohol in his system when he was breathalysed by police.
He was driving a 2010-registered Jaguar XF near the home of his girlfriend, Stephanie Hayward, and was caught after an anonymous tip-off to police.
As he left court, Shilton said: "I've nothing to say, really - just that I had a very fair hearing."
He left in a taxi from the nearby Colchester Town railway station
