Former Premiership footballer Steve Claridge has been found guilty of dangerous driving.

Coventry Crown Court heard he undertook cars at about 100mph in "treacherous" conditions on the M42 near Solihull, West Midlands, on 30 December 2006.

Claridge, 42, who denied the charge, said he reached just above 70mph as he tried to exit the M42 to find a toilet.

He obv didn't have Sir Alex Ferguson's lawyer


Claridge will always be a hero to moe, not just as a player for us but as a throwback to an era where players were deliberately dysfunctional, unconventional and ever so slightly nuts

Enjoy him as a commentator on 5live too

lol.....just seen this.  Good old Stevie...still coming up with those imaginative excuses!   

I especially remember the time when he ducked out of pre season training by saying he had developed an allergy to sunshine!     

total legend !
