Speeding keeper escapes drive ban

Premiership goalkeeper Shay Given escaped a driving ban in court yesterday, after being caught speeding in his luxury Bentley.

The out-of-favour Manchester City star had admitted driving at 75mph in a 50mph zone, in a letter to the court.

Given, 34, who was not in court, was also accused of failing to produce his driving licence but the charge was dropped during the hearing.
