Ince has now been disqualified from driving for 12 months as Cheshire Police released a short statement. 

“At around 5pm on Saturday 28 June, police were called following reports of a collision on Chester High Road, Neston. The incident involved a black Range Rover which had collided with the central reservation barrier. 

“Officers attended the scene and arrested a 57-year-old man. Paul Ince, of Neston, has since been charged with drink driving. Ince has been bailed to appear at Chester Magistrates' Court on Friday 18 July.” 

The former West Ham, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Liverpool midfielder won 53 caps for his country. He had a brief stint in management, most recently working for Reading between 2022 and 2023. Now his reputation has been damaged by such an event, however he did arrive at court with a smile on his face and even took pictures with fans before he entered.
