Morgan Gibbs-White banned from driving for speeding

Nottingham Forest and England midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has been banned from driving for six months after pleading guilty to several speeding offences.

The 25-year-old was caught speeding six times on the A52 in the Radcliffe-on-Trent area of Nottinghamshire between December 2024 and February this year.

He admitted five counts of exceeding 70mph on the dual carriageway, and another charge of speeding in a 60mph zone.

Gibbs-White, from East Bridgford in Nottinghamshire, was fined £3,996 and received three points for each offence during a sentencing hearing at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Two of the offences happened on 5 December at 01:02 and 19:13 GMT, while one occurred on Christmas Day at 09:18.

The others took place at 09:27 on 17 December, 09:06 on 17 January 2025 and 08:10 on 2 February.

The fastest recorded speed Gibbs-White's car was caught travelling at was 96mph between Stragglethorpe Road and Lings Bar Road.

He was initially fined £6,000 for all the offences, but the amount was reduced to £666 for each offence due to his guilty plea.

Gibbs-White was also given 19 penalty points on his licence, ordered to pay a £1,598 victim surcharge and £110 in court costs.

The attacking midfielder was called up by Thomas Tuchel in March for England's 2026 World Cup qualifiers following an injury to Chelsea's Cole Palmer.
