Former England captain Wayne Rooney will appear in court this morning after being found 'drink driving in a woman's car after a night out'

Former England captain Wayne Rooney is due to appear in court charged with drink driving.

The Everton striker, 31, will appear at Stockport Magistrates' Court this morning to face the charge.

He was stopped by police while driving 29-year-old party girl Laura Simpson home from a night out in her Volkswagen Beetle in Wilmslow, Cheshire, at 2am on September 1.

She has claimed she would have had sex with the Everton footballer if he hadn't been pulled over by police and said the arrest 'spoiled the night'.

The £40,000-a-year sales manager said she met the footballer when he complimented her 32E breasts during a 10-hour drinking session and claimed the pair had 'kissed and cuddled'.
