Former England captain Wayne Rooney pleaded guilty to drunk driving on Monday, leading to a court imposing a driving ban and ordering him to perform unpaid community work.
He was arrested when police stopped a car in Wilmslow, Cheshire, in the early hours on 1 September.
The 31-year-old has been banned from driving for two years and ordered to perform 100 hours of unpaid work as part of a 12-month community order, reports BBC.
Rooney was also ordered to pay £170 when he appeared at Stockport Magistrates' Court.
'Unforgivable'
The court heard Rooney was almost three times the legal limit when he was stopped by police at 02:00 BST.
A breathalyser test showed his alcohol level was 104 microgrammes in 100 millilitres of breath.
The drink-drive limit in England and Wales is 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath.
In a statement issued after the hearing, the Everton footballer said: "I want publicly to apologise for my unforgivable lack of judgment in driving while over the legal limit. It was completely wrong."
"I have already said sorry to my family, my manager and chairman and everyone at Everton FC. Now I want to apologise to all the fans and everyone else who has followed and supported me throughout my career."
"Of course I accept the sentence of the court and hope that I can make some amends through my community service."
