Claridge guilty of dangerous driving

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

The former footballer Steve Claridge has been convicted of dangerous driving. Coventry Crown Court heard that Claridge -- who is also a presenter and summariser on Five Live -- was stopped on the M42 in December 2006. The jury was told he'd driven at over a-hundred miles an hour in treacherous conditions because he was desperate for the toilet. He'll be sentenced later.

His occasional scouting reports in the Grauniad are worth a read though, even if he was a touch too gushing about one D. Hammond - a £750,000 valuation anyone?
