Former United Star’s Dizzy Drive Detour…
In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera crossover with a road safety ad, football’s very own midfield maestro, Paul Ince, has been caught in a collision course with the law! Yes indeed, the former Manchester United legend has earned himself a not-so-glorious cap in the field of drink driving after accidentally turning his Range Rover into a makeshift lawn mower along the central reservation. Police were quick on the scene, possibly fuelled by the collective memory of Ince’s spine-shattering tackles from yesteryears.
As Saturday evenings go, this one spun out of control faster than a high-speed nutmeg, with the ex-England star steering into trouble not far from where he’s been known to show off his fairway fashion at Heswall Golf Club. The Cheshire cops kindly provided an escort—one that didn’t lead to an impossibly bending free kick, but rather to a date with Chester Magistrates’ postgame coverage in July. Ince, now benched, will have to swap jerseys for joyrides.
While reminiscing about his days scooping up silverware with Man United and managing more clubs than a loving golfer, there’s hope Ince’s next stint will be less ‘crash course’ and more commentary coup. His son, Tom, will have to temporarily hang his paternal coaching hat while Dad takes a timeout on the legal sidelines. In football circles, one might call it a tactical rethink, or just a really bad day at the office—depending on whether you’re talking substitutions or speed limits!
