Everton striker, Wayne Rooney has been banned from driving for two years as well as being handed 100 hours of community service after a court found him guilty of drink-driving.

Rooney pleaded guilty to the charges, admitting that he has let his family and fans down.

“Wayne wishes to express his genuine remorse for this terrible error of judgement that evening,” the court said.

“He’s let not only himself down but his family down. He also acknowledges he has let his fans down.”

Rooney, 31, was arrested in the early hours of September 1 after being pulled over by the police few miles away from his Prestbury, Cheshire home.

It was gathered that the Ex-Manchester United and England captain was found to be over the prescribed limit.

He was released on bail after being charged but will now appear in court, Monday.

United defeated Everton 4-0 on Sunday in Rooney’s first match against them since he rejoined Everton during the last transfer window.

Rooney spent 13 years at the Old Trafford where he won five English Premier League crowns and netted 253 goals.
