Former England and Manchester City star Micah Richards has been hit with a bill of over £1,000 after he was caught speeding in his Rolls Royce.

The ex-premiership defender, now a regular BBC and Sky Sports pundit, was snagged by a camera in a 30mph zone travelling 5mph above the limit in the luxury vehicle.

Richards, 34, was caught on the B6165, near Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, on August 3 last year, which is a short 20-minute drive from his home in the village of Nidd.

And at Harrogate Magistrates' Court on May 3 this year, he pleaded guilty to one count of speeding and was fined £666 for the offence.

Magistrates also ordered him to pay a £266 victim surcharge and court costs of £90, leaving Richards out of pocket by a total of £1,022.

The former player, who grew up in the Leeds suburb of Chapeltown, previously revealed how he was frequently pulled over by cops when returning back to the city.

But since leaving life as an international footballer, Richards has been dubbed ‘Mr Monopoly’ by friends after amassing a multi-million pound property empire.
