Arsenal legend Paul Merson has been banned from speeding

He was given 12 penalty points, which led to a six-month driving ban, and was ordered to pay £2,640 in fines, a victim surcharge of £1,056 and prosecution costs of £110. The former soccer player has had trouble with the law in the past, when he was banned from driving for 14 months in 2012 for falling asleep at the wheel while driving under the influence.
