Footballer avoids questions after drink-driving

A Norwich City and Ireland international footballer has refused to answer questions from a journalist after being banned from driving for three years after itting a drink-drive charge.

Shane Duffy, 32, of Norwich Common, Wymondham, pleaded guilty at Norwich Magistrates' Court to driving a motor vehicle above the alcohol limit, after he was arrested in Hethersett, near Norwich, on 6 May.

The court heard he had hit a stationary car and then went to a nearby house to ask if he could sit and wait for the police.

Magistrates were told he had a previous similar conviction nine years ago. Duffy was also ordered to pay a £25,000 fine, a £2,000 victim surcharge and £85 in court costs.
