Former football manager fails to have seven-year driving ban axed

On one binge he had his credit card and phone stolen and his wife had to fly to Germany to bring him home.

A court heard that Vinnie Moore, who admitted having a drinking problem, has racked up disqualifications totalling 17 years.

Hamilton Sheriff Court heard last week that Moore, 58, has two previous convictions for drink-related driving offences. He made an application for the seven-year ban to be lifted. It was not due to expire until 2026. He stated: “There is a distinct difference in the circumstances of the last offence. That involved him taking prescribed medication and, unlike previous offences, there was no alcohol consumption.”

Moore played for teams including Airdrie, Ayr United and Clydebank during his career. In 2019 his defence counsel, Gordon Jackson, said the “demon drink” was a “major problem” for him.
