Overview
- Police records show a speed camera clocked the 20-year-old at 72mph just after 4pm on 28 August on Mauldeth Road West in Withington, a residential stretch near a secondary school.
- Crewe Magistrates’ Court ordered a six-month disqualification plus a £666 fine, £120 in costs and a £266 victim surcharge, totalling £1,052.
- The case was handled on written submissions under the single justice procedure, so Yoro did not appear in court.
- With assistance from a Manchester United official, Yoro entered an online guilty plea to speeding as prosecutors withdrew the separate allegation of failing to identify the driver.
- Solicitor Lisa Nevitt submitted an apology saying he was rushing a friend to a railway station and would not contest disqualification, and reports indicate the ban is not expected to affect his match availability.
