Albion's James McClean banned from driving
West Bromwich Albion player James McClean has been banned from driving for six months.
Magistrates handed the Republic of Ireland international the ban at North Staffordshire Justice Centre in relation to an offence last December.
The 26-year-old already had six penalty points on his driving licence.
McClean, whose address was given as Horwich, Bolton, did not appear before the court and was represented by a solicitor.
It has been a controversial few weeks for the Baggies' left winger.
Last month, the Derry-born wide-man was handed a written warning from the FA for his celebration in front of the Sunderland fans after Albion's only home win of the season.
McClean, a former Sunderland player, was subjected to booing and anti-IRA chants from the visiting fans throughout the match.
