Former Chelsea and Germany midfielder Michael Ballack has told a Spanish court that he cannot pay a £8,000 speeding fine "because he is unemployed".
Ballack, who joined Chelsea from Bayern Munich in 2006 and earned between £80,000 and £120,000 a week during his four-year stay in West London, also faces a two-year driving ban for the offence.

Yet, after being caught doing 127 mph in his Audi U7 on a 75mph road near Trujillo, the former Germany captain’s lawyer told a court in Caceres that his client should only pay one tenth of the fine because he is out of work and does not have a source of income.
 

Horrible [Poor language removed]. He can afford the car and the petrol to do those speeds so of course he can afford the ****ing fine.
 
Utterly ridiculous.

Surely they could just say 'errr but there's millions in your bank account, lid. Scheizen excuse, that.'
 


I remember a story about Ginola when he was at Spurs..... his appartment block had designated parking for residents but he felt it was too far to walk every day so he just used to park on the pavement outside the front doors and get a parking ticket every day......... he paid the tickets of course but the pure arrogance of just paying an 80 quid every day instead of walking maybe 50 yards..... that is the mark of the modern footballer.
