Footie ace Darron Gibson to appear in court on drink-driving charge

PREMIER League ace Darron Gibson will appear in court today accused of drink-driving.

ACE: Gibson joined Everton from Manchester United in 2012

Gibson allegedly crashed his sports car into a cyclist before driving away last month.

The 27-year-old is alleged to have then pulled into a petrol station nearby and collided with a petrol pump.

He was charged with driving without due care and attention, driving with excess alcohol and failing to stop after a road traffic collision.

The midfielder, who lives in Altrincham, Cheshire, began his career at Manchester United.

He joined Everton for around £1million in 2012 but is currently out of action due to a groin injury.

Gibson will appear at Trafford Magistrates' Court later today.
