Sammy Ameobi, a Football Star in England, was stopped for driving double the posted speed — 80 mph in a 40 mph zone.
Ameobi faced a two month driving ban.
Ameobi asked for mercy from the court as he had no trains available to make the 160 mile trip to his new team, Notthingham Forest.
Ameobi apologized to the Court and cited to his previously clean driving record.
The Court decided to convict him of a six point speeding offense but did not suspend his license.
“I regret what I did it was stupid and reckless and I guess being late for work isn’t an excuse to do that. But prior to this I had zero points on my licence.”
Ameobi was born in Nigeria and moved with his parents to the UK. Both of his brothers are talented footballers each having played for Newcastle United.
