      Marcus Rashford’s agent brother Dane GUILTY of speeding in flash £120k Mercedes near his £1.5m home

      by

      MARCUS Rashford’s brother has been found guilty of speeding and hit with a fine after blaming “confusing” road signs.Dane Rashford, 31, who works as the Manchester United star’s football agent, was caught travelling at 39mph in his £120,000 Mercedes in a 30mph zone near his £1.5m home.Dane Rashford was found guilty of speeding today and hit with a fine after blaming ‘confusing’ road signsCredit: Andrew Price / View Finder PicturesDane is the brother and agent of Marcus Rashford, pictured here during a session at United’s training ground Carrington on WednesdayCredit: GettyChester magistrates heard how he was trapped by a hand-held device on Adlington Road in October last year.Representing himself, Dane said he and his family had lived in the area for around a decade and claimed he’d always believed the stretch of road to have a 40mph speed limit.He said: “I’m not the only person who drives at 40mph, everyone does.”Video his sister had recorded showing him driving down the street was played during the one-day trial.Read More on Marcus RashfordIt showed his sat-nav device displaying a 40mph speed limit, with Dane saying: “There’s still no signs here, and the sat-nav still says 40mph.”But Michael O’Kane, prosecuting, said he had broken the 30mph speed limit on that section of the road, as indicated by signs before and after the point where his vehicle was caught by a speed camera.PC Catherine Mickle, of Cheshire Police, said she had observed the speed limit signs and – because it was a residential area with lampposts – drivers should assume by “default” that a 30mph speed limit was in force.But Dane, who is a director of DN May Sports Management, claimed they were “confusing”.Most read in FootballDistrict judge Owen Jones said he had been an “honest and truthful” witness, adding that the football agent had “genuinely and honestly” thought he was travelling in a 40mph zone but it had been a “mistaken view”.The judge found him guilty of one charge of speeding and he was handed three points on his licence to add to an existing three.Dane, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, must also pay a fine of £200, a victim surcharge of £80 and costs of £250.Just 12 days after, he was caught speeding, he was arrested for battery by cops in the USA.He’d been holidaying in Miami when he was charged with domestic violence.Dane, who denied wrongdoing, was released when his $1,500 bond was paid a week later.Last month, it was reported that the charges had been dropped.Last year, his England star younger brother Marcus, 26, was fined £574 and handed six points on his driver’s licence after admitting to speeding in Manchester while behind the wheel of his £670,000 Mercedes.READ MORE SUN STORIESA spokesman for Dane said: “While the court said that Mr Rashford was an ‘honest and truthful’ witness, we are disappointed that they did not accept his testimony that the speed limit was clearly marked at 40mph on the road he was travelling on.”Mr Rashford is now considering whether to appeal the decision.” More

      On MotorSport New Zealand’s website, it says that the junior driver program “allows people aged between 12 and 16 the ability to obtain a competition licence”.
      According to MotorSport, it is not uncommon for young drivers to participate in these competitions.
      However, the organisation has announced that it will be undertaking a thorough investigation.

      Horror as ex-Premier League star and Uefa Cup hero Jeremy Goss is seriously hurt in ‘explosion’ car crash

      by

      NORWICH City legend Jeremy Goss has suffered serious injuries in a horror car crash.The former Premier League star – who also played internationally for Wales – feels “lucky to be alive” after a car smashed into him while he was driving in Norfolk.
      Jeremy Goss has revealed he is recovering from a horror car crash

      The 58-year-old told the Eastern Daily Press: “I was in the left-hand lane, glanced in my rearview mirror and saw this blue car heading straight towards me – going well over the speed limit.
      “I spontaneously gripped the steering wheel as tight as I could – so much that I later found out I cracked a bone on my wedding ring finger – and dropped my chin into my chest expecting the worst.
      “The car collided into the back of me like an explosion – the sound was frightening.”
      Goss revealed he was then hit a second time before his car stopped 100m down the road.
      Terrified that his car might burst into flames, Goss said he fought through intense pain to open his door.
      He then collapsed on a grass verge nearby before emergency services arrived at the scene.
      “I feel lucky to be alive honestly,” he said.
      The smash on January 31 left him bed-bound for a week.
      Most read in Football
      Goss said he is now able to walk on his own but is using painkillers after suffering injuries to his ribs, kidneys, lower back and hip.
      Goss is best-known for helping Norwich City beat German giants Bayern Munich 2-1 in the Uefa Cup in 1993 – a game in which he scored a stunning volley.
      He opened up about his life after football to SunSport in 2019.
      After a stint playing in Scotland for Hearts, followed by non-league football at King’s Lynn, he returned to the Norfolk club that’s close to his heart to work on his coaching badges in 1999.
      However, at around the same time, his wife Margaret gave birth to their twin sons Jacob and Joseph three months premature.
      Two hours after they were born, their weight plummeted to 2 pounds and their lives were in the balance.
      Goss told SunSport: “I look back with dread, really.
      “My sons were born three months premature. We were living in my in-laws’ house and at that time I had no job and no house.
      “My wife and I were taking care of very sick new-born twins. It was like, ‘Welcome to life outside of football.'”
      In 2010, Goss took on full-time work at the Norfolk and Norwich Association for the Blind (NNAB), when an ambassadorial role at Norwich City came to an end.
      “I was very fortunate enough to meet people from the NNAB and I went in there as a charity fundraiser, which very soon became a job as head of fundraising,” he said.

      “My role was to build up a department to take the charity forward in terms of income generation, and I’d been in that role for eight years until Easter. Now I find myself back in that position when I’m unemployed.”
      Drawing on his background and legendary status in East Anglia, Goss helped the NNAB generate generous donations, including sponsored bungee jumps.

      Marcus Rashford is flogging his wrecked £700,000 Rolls-Royce at auction for a fraction of the price

      MARCUS Rashford is flogging his wrecked £700,000 Rolls-Royce at auction for a fraction of the price.The Man Utd ace, who smashed the near new supercar in a horror crash in September last year, is selling the motor on an auction site.

      The star was shaken but unhurt following the collision on Carrington Spur
      Photos show that the Black Badge Wraith took a pounding in the crash, with extensive damage to the front, left front wing and a mangled rear left wheel and bumper.
      So far there has been 111 bids for the V12 two-door coupe, with the highest currently at £152,500.
      Experts say the smashed up car will need at least £100,000 worth of repairs to get it road worthy again – a smart investment for anyone with deep pockets.
      Snaps on the SalvageMarket auction site show the grey roller has just 1,135 miles on the clock and boasts a full “Mansory” kit, which adds significantly to the value.

      The engine and interior also look to be mostly undamaged, although the passenger side airbags did inflate in the crash.
      Rashford’s Rolls was wrecked after a collision with a car driven by a gran, 74, in September last year.
      The England ace had just left United’s training ground in Carrington on his way home from his side’s 1-0 Premier League win at Burnley.
      The collision sent his 2.5-ton vehicle — which has a top speed of 155mph — into a pole on a traffic island.

      Marcus Rashford ‘seconds from parking ticket’ after parking on double yellows
      The gran had no idea who Rashford was and she was left shaken and confused, a source said.
      A source told The Sun at the time: “Marcus immediately checked to see if the woman was okay and swapped details.”
      Maintenance engineer Peter Laycock, 36, caught the aftermath of the accident on his mobile phone after arriving at the scene at around 12.20am.
      Peter said: “There were loads of police blocking the road asking cars to turn around because there was debris all over the road.
      “I could see guys in United clothes who must have come from the training ground. There were a lot of bystanders saying, ‘It’s ­Marcus Rashford’s car’.”
      The accident happened in a 40mph zone on Carrington Spur near United’s Aon training complex — where players had returned by coach just before midnight after the Burnley match.
      In a post on Instagram which referred to United’s away win, the striker wrote: “3 points on the road! I’m alright guys thanks for the messages.”
      Rashford, 26, owns three Rolls-Royces – the £700k Black Badge Wraith involved in the crash, a £390,000 Black Badge Cullinan and he bought a £560,000 Cullinan Blue Shadow in August last year.
      Rashford also has a £280,000 McLaren 765 Long Tail and a £350,000 Lamborghini Urus Performante.
      Earlier this week the star copped a £60 parking ticket after leaving his McLaren on double yellow lines.
      The star had pulled his McLaren 765LT up outside offices for a construction and property development company when a warden snagged him.

      The England international had left his £280,000 sports car parked on double yellow lines outside.
      It took just 15 minutes for an eagle-eyed warden to spot his foul play, and he duly issued a £60 parking ticket on the star’s motor, which has a top speed of 205mph.

      Glazers want Man Utd stars to wear augmented reality camerasBy Gary Stonehouse
      MANCHESTER UNITED stars could potentially soon be wearing cameras in matches as part of a money-spinning plan by the Glazer family.
      The Americans have recently sold a 25 per cent minority share in the Red Devils to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos.
      But they have kept the majority stake, despite the heavy criticism from supporters ever since their ownership began in 2005.
      It was previously reported how Joel and Avram Glazer were keen to stay at the club as they believe that it has huge potential for “organic growth” over the coming years.
      Now ESPN has claimed that one of the potential ideas that has been talked about by the Americans relates to Augmented Reality (AR).
      They report that a source who is familiar with the Glazers’ business model told them: “The big idea, or maybe the big hope, that the Glazers have – and this was driven by Ed Woodward – is the emergence of Augmented Reality.
      “The technology is already out there whereby a player could have an AR wearable on his body and a supporter anywhere in the world could pay a small fee to experience a game through the eyes of his favourite player.
      “Just imagine how much United could generate from their huge global fanbase if supporters were able to pay to be Marcus Rashford or Bruno Fernandes for 90 minutes?”
      And it also said that United’s much-maligned ex-executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward had confirmed to them that AR had been seen as a “huge opportunity” that potentially could have been monetised by the club.
      The Glazers also own NFL franchise Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who became the first American football team to utilise AR back in 2016.
      However, the Premier League club have not yet been able to explore potential opportunities due to the use of bodycams in competitive matches being outlawed by IFAB.
      Several clubs did trial bodycams during pre-season while Tottenham star Brennan Johnson also wore one for the pre-match warm-up against Wolves in November.

      Club apologise for ‘jaw-droppingly offensive’ Murder on the Dancefloor stop sign post of player who killed man in crash

      by

      A LEAGUE of Ireland club has deleted and apologised for a controversial social media post of a player holding a stop sign featuring the song Murder On The Dancefloor.It had been pointed out the man had been convicted of killing a dad-of-two in a car crash.

      Tragic Andrezej Obalek died in the crash
      The Instagram post by Galway United to promote a Premier Division clash against St Patrick’s Athletic tomorrow showed Ed McCarthy, 22, holding up the traffic sign.
      The image was accompanied by the Sophie Ellis-Bextor hit Murder On The Dancefloor and a golf club that is used to tee off and hit a ball long distances, which is known as a driver.
      The Moyross, Co Limerick native was 19 when he was given a two-year suspended sentence and a seven-year driving ban in November 2020 after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of Andrezej Obalek, 55.
      McCarthy was driving home from a training session with Cork City on February 18 that year at Ballybeg, Buttevant, Co Cork on the main Cork-Limerick road at around 10.40pm and was speeding through bends.

      He lost control of his car and crossed over the divide to the wrong side of the road, hitting the Polish national’s car and causing him to hit a ditch and die instantly.
      McCarthy also hit another car that was following behind Mr Obalek’s vehicle and that driver suffered minor injuries.
      He told a court he “never meant harm to anyone” and “never set out to do anything like that to anyone”.
      During the trial, Judge Sean O’Donnabhain at Cork Circuit Criminal Court read a victim impact statement by Obalek’s sister, Urszula Obalek-Owstrowska.
      Most read in Football
      It said: “Andrezej’s death caused a great gap in my life that I cannot fill with anything. I am still waiting for his calls, text messages, full of optimism.
      “You robbed me of this forever. I believe that the greatest punishment for you will be living with the knowledge that you have killed a great man.”
      The judge then addressed the court saying: “I hope the victim impact statement by Mr Obalek’s sister is burned into his brain and he never forgets it.
      “It is a belief that she has expressed to bring out the hurt that she has felt over the loss of her brother.”
      After it was posted, social media users were quick to point out the problems surrounding the image.
      In a post about the picture on Reddit, one user said: “Wow, not a good look at all.”
      Another added: “That golf club is a driver as well. Just jaw-droppingly offensive.”
      On X, one user said: “What would possess someone to think that was a good idea?”
      ‘Tasteless’
      Another described it as “horrible” and “tasteless, from both club and player”.
      The post on Instagram has since been deleted.
      Today, Galway United said it had meant no offence and wanted to “unreservedly apologise”.
      A statement on the club’s website read: “Galway United wish to advise that there was no offence intended by a recent social media post issued by the club and would like to unreservedly apologise for any hurt or distress that the post may have caused.”
      New contract
      Right-sided defender or midfielder McCarthy signed for Galway United in February 2022.
      McCarthy, who previously played for Cork City, Treaty United and Regional United, signed a new contract at Galway United last month.
      He had been named in the 2023 Professional Footballers Association Ireland First Division Team of the Year.
