Wayne Rooney admits being three times drink-drive limit - but is told to pay £170
Wayne Rooney, the former England captain, has apologised for an "unforgivable lack of judgment" after pleading guilty to drink-driving.
The Everton striker was given a two-year driving ban and ordered to carry out unpaid community work after being caught three times the legal alcohol limit on a night out while his pregnant wife and their three sons were on holiday.
After admitting the charge on Monday morning, Rooney was also told to pay £170 - made up of prosecution costs and a victim surcharge. It is a figure he can earn by working just 12 minutes of his reported £150,000-a-week earnings.
The 31-year-old was stopped by police while driving a black Volkswagen Beetle belonging to Laura Simpson - a woman the court heard he had met while socialising with friends - in Wilmslow, Cheshire, at 2am on September 1.
