Shane Duffy fined over £27,000 and given a road ban over drink-driving crash
Norwich City defender pleaded guilty after crashing his Range Rover days before Championship play-off semi-final
Shane Duffy has been given a three-year driving ban and fined over £27,000 after pleading guilty to drink driving.
The Norwich City centre-back crashed his Range Rover in May in Norwich, a matter of days before his club faced Leeds United in the Championship promotion play-offs.
The Irish international hit a stationary car and was found to be almost three-times over the legal limit when breathalysed at the scene.
The Derry man has 61 caps for the Republic of Ireland, appearing before Norwich Magistrates Court this morning.
He entered a plea of guilty to drink driving, with the court informed about his previous drink driving conviction nine years ago.
Mr. Duffy was fined £27,085 and given a 36-month driving disqualification, while being warned he risks being sent to prison if he breaches the terms of his road ban.
