Shaun Wright-Phillips avoids jail term for driving while disqualified

Queens Park Rangers winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has narrowly escaped a custodial sentence for driving while disqualified, after claiming that he wasn't aware he had been banned.

Uxbridge Magistrates' Court heard that the 31-year-old was oblivious to the fact that he shouldn't have been on the road, and that the legal documents banning him from driving had been sent to his agent.
