Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has been ordered to stay off the road for six months due to speeding.

The 35-year-old, who had previously denied driving over the 40mph limit, pleaded guilty at Sefton Magistrates Court this week after he was clocked speeding at 47mph.

Magistrates claimed that a six-month ban for the centre-back was "obligatory due to repeat offending", according to the Liverpool Daily Post.

The offence occurred on August 26 last year.
