Ban for ex-footballer in drink-drive crash

Former Aberdeen footballer Dean Windass has been banned from driving and ordered to do 250 hours of unpaid work after admitting being three times over the drink-drive limit when he crashed into a parked car.

He was arrested after he drove his silver Mercedes into the other vehicle in Baildon, near Bradford, West Yorkshire.

Bradford Magistrates' Court yesterday heard how Windass, 43, had been to the Hull City versus Blackpool match on October 3 and was heading home to his flat in Leeds.
