Having paid a king's ransom to watch some of the most ghastly people in the world kick a ball about, people kid themselves that the team they are cheering for are something more than a motley collection of briefly hired mercenaries who owe allegiance to nothing whatsoever other than their agents and their bank balances!

Footballers in the dock over driving offences

Barry Bannan
Not a good period for footballers on the driving front lately!
 
Leading the way is Aston Villa's Barry Bannan who has been disqualified from driving for 18 months following a catologue of offences following a recent motorway smash!
 
The Scottish international was found guilty of drink driving, failing to stop after a road accident, driving without due care and attention and driving on a provisional licence.

Bannan - who earns around £10,000 per week - crashed his Range Rover Sport on the southbound carriageway of the M1 near Watnall, at around 5.30am on October 23, following a night out with friends.
Then there is former England star Paul Merson who has been ­summonsed on a charge of drink-­driving after requiring hospital treatment forllowing a car crash on the M40.
 
It is believed the Sky Sports pundit fell asleep at the wheel of his £40,000 ­Mercedes and collided with an Army truck after attending a Children in Need bash.
 
Meanwhile, Newcastle United's Nile Ranger was has also been banned from the roads for a year and fined £3,300 after admitting drink-driving in his personalised black and white Range Rover in Newcastle city centre at 4.45am.
