Rio Ferdinand, 33, has been banned from driving for a period of 6 months after he was caught speeding three times in five weeks on the same road.
Manchester United defender was photographed in his Jaguar XJ speeding at 30mph as he drove to and from training.
He tried to beat a ban by pleading that he needed his license to take his two sons to school but his argument was rejected by Trafford magistrates in Greater Manchester.
He was caught by a speed camera on the A56 in Manchester in February doing 38mph in a 30mph area yet he had been flashed for speeding at the same spot twice in January and already had three points on his licence.
