FORMER England striker Jermain Defoe has been hit with a fourth driving ban for speeding.
The ex-Premier League star, 42, was barred for a year after being clocked at 82mph in a 70mph zone last October.
Defoe, who played 57 times for England, was driving a Land Rover in Wormley, Herts, JPs in St Albans were told.
His barrister said the ex-Spurs ace deserved credit for pleading guilty.
Defoe, who was not in court, was fined £660 plus £90 costs and a £266 victim surcharge.
He also got three points to add to the nine already on his licence.
Defoe was previously banned from the road for six months in July 2008 for speeding.
He received another six-month ban for the same offence the following year.
He later admitted driving at 45mph in a 30mph zone in Portsmouth in May 2008.
He was given an additional four points on his license.
The star ended up in court again in October 2010 after being caught with a phone behind the wheel while driving in Loughton.
He was handed three points – narrowly avoiding another ban – and fined £800.
Defoe was then slapped with his third six-month ban two years ago when he was clocked doing 56mph in a 30mph zone in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire in December 2020.
