The former England footballer Paul Ince has been banned from driving and ordered to pay £7,085 for drink-driving.
The 57-year-old appeared at Chester magistrates court on Friday where he admitted driving his Range Rover while over the limit on 28 June in Neston, Cheshire.
Judge McGarva told Ince: “The message has got to be if you’re going to drive, you don’t drink at all.”
He was banned from driving for 12 months, fined £5,000 and ordered to pay a £2,000 statutory surcharge and £85 costs.
Arriving at court, he signed an autograph for a fan and posed for a selfie with another.
The former West Ham, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Liverpool midfielder won 53 caps for his country. After retiring, he moved into management, most recently working for Reading between 2022 and 2023.
