Tottenham and England footballer Ledley King has been banned from driving after he was caught speeding.

King, 30, of Cuffley, Hertfordshire, admitted breaking a 70mph limit as he drove a Mercedes CL on the A14 near Newmarket in Suffolk on 29 June.

He argued he had been travelling at no more than 95mph, but Sudbury magistrates ruled the police speed gun reading of 105mph was accurate.

They banned him from driving for 56 days.

King was also fined £800 and ordered to pay £250 costs.
