Remember him? Young striker we had a few years back, 28 now and has been charged with death by dangerous driving after crashing his HGV into a car.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-charged-causing-death-dangerous-driving.html Such a sad story. First I have read about it.
Played against him in a cup game 3/4 years ago he was playing for grimethorpe sure he was smoking a *** at half time
Yes he did. Was a class above. Top lad. Their Lee was better like and went onto Shaw Lane and others. Used to watch Rec most weeks then. Was a quality time. Shame for all concerned.
He goes to trial next August. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-news/ex-barnsley-footballer-admits-careless-18862755
He had admitted careless driving. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news...WoapvdNt7kpyp86DewhjRILTddRNM0kLqm6dUgie1CMos
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/former-footballer-admits-causing-deaths-24728999 Getting sentenced next month. Sad all round.
Five years. Got off very lightly for causing two deaths and the destruction that he has left behind with their loved ones trying to get through the tragedy. Not to mention the other five he injured. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/barnsley-ex-footballer-who-caused-21589690
I just don’t get prison sentences. That Jason Derbyshire who killed Beddy with a punch to the back of the head got 4 years 10 months in 2016 & was back boozing in town in 2018. It’s sickening. But then people are getting longer for fraud & drug dealing.
If you don't understand that then try getting your head around how Steven Bennett has been locked up for 5 years but only banned from driving for 4. Presumably its to stop him driving from his cell to the exercise yard
When Derbyshire got out he hit a woman and only got a seven day sentence despite multiple past incidents not just manslaughter. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/crime/south-yorkshire-thug-jailed-after-attacking-ex-partner-2845211
