Rooney apologised for his "unforgivable lack of judgment" in a statement issued after he entered his guilty plea at Stockport Magistrates' Court, near Manchester in northwest England. In addition to the two-year driving ban, Rooney was ordered to perform 100 hours of unpaid work as part of a 12-month community order, the PA reported. "I want publicly to apologise for my unforgivable lack of judgment in driving while over the legal limit. In July, Rooney returned to Everton, his boyhood club, after 13 years with Manchester United. Now I want to apologise to all the fans and everyone else who has followed and supported me throughout my career," Rooney said.
