Stoke City striker Crouch fined for second time in month for over speeding

London, Aug 22 (ANI): Stoke City striker Peter Crouch has collected nine points on his licence in a month after being caught speeding twice in the space of a month, and was also fined driving nearly 20mph over the limit.

The former England international has been fined 1,000 pounds for driving nearly 20mp over the speed limit in Macclesfield, Cheshire, last November.

Crouch, who lives in nearby Mottram St Andrew, was also given five penalty points when he was spotted driving at 49mph in a 30mph zone.

The 6ft 7in striker had already been hit with four points earlier this month for another speeding offence. The lanky forward was driving a Land Rover at the time of the latest incident.

Crouch, who didn't appear in court, was ordered to pay 350 pounds in costs and 15 pounds as victim surcharge for speeding at around 8.05 p.m. on November 19.

"It was a Saturday evening in November and there was no traffic on the road whatsoever. He has accepted his guilt and his punishment should be at the bottom end of the scale," The Daily Mail quoted defending Barry Warburton, as saying.

"My client clearly has a disposable income and I will make sure he pays the fine immediately," he added.

Crouch had the four previous points put on his licence this month during a hearing at a Stoke magistrates court. (ANI)
