As well as getting a two-year driving ban, the Everton and former Manchester United star was also ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work as part of a 12-month community order.
Rooney apologised for his “unforgivable lack of judgement” after admitting the charge. The court heard he was almost three times the legal limit.
The 31-year old said:
I want publicly to apologise for my unforgivable lack of judgement in driving while over the legal limit. It was completely wrong.”

There’s a likeness there, let’s face it.
Lord Alan Sugar, meanwhile, couldn’t resist making this terrible dad joke.
“I’m banned from driving for two years.”
