Soccer-Bosnich pleads guilty to rash driving charge, dodges conviction

June 9 (Reuters) - Former Australia goalkeeper Mark Bosnich has escaped conviction after pleading guilty to a charge of reckless driving in a road rage incident that left a cyclist injured last year.

Bosnich, who played for Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa in the English Premier League and now works as a TV soccer pundit in his home country, was charged after he knocked the cyclist from his bike when driving a BMW in Sydney a year ago.

Bosnich was given a one-year 'good behaviour bond', a form of probation in Australia, without conviction by Sydney's Downing Centre court.
