WATFORD goalie Ben Foster was banned from driving for six months yesterday after being caught speeding at 99mph on a motorway.
The ex-Man United ace, 38, was also fined £2,250 – less than ten per cent of his £30,000 weekly wage.

Foster was clocked 29mph above the speed limit in a black Tesla on the M40 at Beaconsfield, Bucks, on April 3 last year.
He was given six points, which tipped him over the 12-point threshold as he had totted up at least six points before, a court official said.
Foster, of Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, was convicted in December after pleading not guilty, and did not appear before Wycombe JPs for sentence yesterday.
He had to pay a £190 surcharge and costs of £620.
Foster won eight England caps and has made 485 senior appearances at club level for sides including Birmingham and West Brom.
He has also become well-known for his YouTube vlog – called The Cycling GK.
Foster has previously said he wants to be a cyclist after football.
Watford, fighting relegation in the Premier League, declined to comment.
