Southampton striker Guly Do Prado has admitted drink-driving, reports BBC News. The 30-year-old Brazilian was arrested in the early hours of 27 August after his Porsche was seen being driven erratically on Southampton High Street.
The player was fined £2,600 at the city's magistrates' court and received a 12 month driving ban, reduced to nine if he takes a driver safety course.
In mitigation, Philip Somarakis said Do Prado was "respectful and compliant".
"He is very sorry to be appearing before the court and bringing unwanted attention on him and his club," he added.
A spokesman for Southampton declined to comment on the case and said the matter had already been dealt with internally.
