Man City star Jack Grealish charged to court, mandated to pay fine for over speeding

The former Aston Villa player is appearing in court for driving offences for the second time in four years.

Grealish was fined £82,499 and banned from the road for nine months in 2020 for two charges of driving without due care.

The Manchester City midfielder was caught again for overspeeding with his car and was charged to court.

The 28-year-old was initially charged with withholding information about the identity of the car's driver, which carries a maximum fine of £114,000. However, that accusation was dropped at today's brief Worcester Magistrates Court hearing

Grealish struck two parked cars in a dead end, and a witness claimed he smelled like "intoxicating liquor" and was speaking slurred with the information presented to the judge.

Magistrates fined him £666 and directed him to pay £110 in costs along with a £266 victim surcharge, as reported by Daily Mail.

Grealish's attorney, John Dye, filed a guilty plea on his behalf even though he did not appear in court. On behalf of Grealish, Mr Dye stated he had been "instructed to apologise."

Meanwhile, Grealish will be with the Man City team this weekend as they prepare to face Fulham in the title run-in.
