Leicester City star Hamza Choudhury has been fined £20,000 - less than two weeks wages - and banned from the roads after he was caught drink-driving on the wrong side of the road in his wife's Range Rover.
Nottingham Magistrates' Court was told the 26-year-old made the 'impulsive and spontaneous' decision to drive back to a restaurant to collect his phone despite being more than double the legal alcohol limit in the early hours.
Choudhury, a married father of three young children, realised he had 'let himself and his family down,' his lawyer said.
