Wayne Rooney guilty of drink-driving

Former England captain Wayne Rooney has apologised after he admitted drinking and driving.

The Everton player was arrested when police stopped a car in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on 1 September.

Police used a special test called a breathalyser, which checks how much alcohol someone has had.

Officers found he was three times over the legal limit and shouldn't have been driving.

On Monday, a court banned Rooney from driving for two years and ordered him to do 100 hours of unpaid work in the community.

He was also told to pay £170 when he appeared at Stockport Magistrates' Court.

Rooney has said sorry and admitted what he'd done was "completely wrong".

"I have already said sorry to my family, my manager and chairman and everyone at Everton FC. Now I want to apologise to all the fans and everyone else who has followed and supported me throughout my career," he said in a statement.

Drink driving is when somebody drinks more alcohol than the law allows before driving.

Not only is it illegal for someone to drive a car after drinking too much, it is also very dangerous.

Alcohol - like beer or wine - makes it difficult for people to react quickly, meaning they are unsafe when driving a car.
