England footballer Raheem Sterling has admitted dangerously driving a Lamborghini on the motorway.<\/p>\n
Sterling pleaded guilty at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday to driving a Lamborghini Urus dangerously on the M25, the M3, the A327 and Minley Road before he crashed on May 28.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old admitted possession of six nitrous oxide cannisters for wrongful inhalation, a class C drug, and failing to provide a specimen.<\/p>\n
Sterling attended the Hampshire court wearing a black suit jacket, black trousers, black shoes and a dark top.<\/p>\n
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary previously said the charges followed a single-vehicle collision on the M3 southbound, near Minley interchange, on May 28.<\/p>\n
The force said that no other vehicles were involved and no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
Sterling scored 20 goals in 82 appearances for England, helping Gareth Southgate’s side reach the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the final of Euro 2020.<\/p>\n
He came through the academy at QPR before joining Liverpool, where he made his senior debut.<\/p>\n
Sterling, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica, moved to Manchester City in 2015 and won four Premier League titles, five League Cups and the 2019 FA Cup.<\/p>\n
He left for Chelsea in 2022 but, after falling out of favour, spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Sterling joined Dutch club Feyenoord on a short-term deal until the end of last season, and is currently without a club.<\/p>\n
In the 2021 Queen’s Birthday Honours, Sterling was made an MBE for services to racial equality in sport after fronting anti-racism and discrimination campaigns and speaking out strongly against racism on and off the pitch for several years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England footballer Raheem Sterling has admitted dangerously driving a Lamborghini on the motorway.
