FORMER Manchester United footballer Nicky Butt has been banned from driving for 12 months and ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work after breaking a motorcyclist's leg in a road crash.
Butt, 49, behind the wheel of his Land Rover Defender and heading home after taking his son to football training in Burnley, pulled out in front of a motorbike ridden by Adam Fielding, 28, following a "momentary lapse of concentration," Blackburn Magistrates' Court heard.
Mr Fielding suffered a broken left leg and other injuries, spending two weeks in hospital after the crash on October 17, 2022.
He has had to have metal rods inserted in his leg, lost his job and has suffered psychological damage and is in constant pain, the court was told.
Butt told the court in a statement yesterday: "I could not be more sorry."
