Former Manchester United footballer Chris Eagles has been banned from driving and has joined Alcoholics Anonymous after he was found drunk in the driver's seat of his £70,000 Audi.
The 35-year-old was found slumped over his steering wheel by police in March outside the home of his then-girlfriend Jennifer Metcalfe at 3am.
He was found to be three times over the legal alcohol limit and admitted being drunk at the time while appearing at Manchester Magistrates' Court earlier this week.
It represents a significant fall from grace for a man who was tipped for stardom under Sir Alex Ferguson at United, having joined their academy at the turn of the century from Watford.
