Ex-England footballer Paul Merson has been given a 14-month driving ban after a court heard how he crashed his Mercedes into a 38-tonne truck while over the legal alcohol limit.

An English coourt was told that the former Arsenal and Aston Villa star, who pleaded guilty to drink-driving, fell asleep at the wheel on the M40 motorway.

Merson, who suffered a head injury in the accident last October, was fined €1795 and ordered to pay €125 in costs.
