Former Premier League star Shaun Wright-Phillips fined for driving his £50,000 Range Rover without a licence
FORMER Premier League and England star Shaun Wright-Phillips has been fined more than £200 for driving a £50,000 Range Rover without a licence.
Wright-Phillips, 34, was summonsed after he was caught driving the luxury 4x4 in Bethnal Green, east London, on April 16 this year.
The winger, who played for Manchester City, Chelsea, and Queens Park Rangers in his Premier League career, avoided jail in 2013 for driving while disqualified because he didn't know he was banned.
He had missed a string of summons after his £200,000 Bentley was clocked doing 79mph on a 50mph stretch at Esher, Surrey, because they were sent to his agent's address.
Then the winger was handed a £800 fine after vowing to open all his mail even if it was junk.
