Newcastle star Anthony Gordon was pictured behind the wheel of his £100k Mercedes G-Wagon while being banned from driving.
Gordon, 21, was disqualified for six months on Monday (January 30) after twice failing to disclose details of the driver of his car, according to The Sun. But he was then snapped driving around Tyneside on Wednesday (February 1).
However, the Daily Mail report Gordon was unaware of his ban at the time. It’s claimed the correspondence was sent to an old address of his and he only found out when it made the press.

Since then he’s been driven to and from training by his girlfriend Annie Keating. Flouting a road ban can lead to up to six months in jail.
Gordon intends to appeal the decision and is going through the process of getting it overturned. Magpies boss Eddie Howe addressed the situation after their 1-1 draw with West Ham yesterday.
He said: “I’m aware of it but I’m not sure the story quite matches up as reported. But it is something I need to find out more on.”

Gordon made his debut as a substitute against the Hammers having completed a £45million transfer from Everton in the January window.
Of his cameo, Howe said: “I was very pleased with him. Your first action here at St James’ Park is important. I think his first pass was a brilliant one, and he injected some life into us at a time when we needed it in the game.
“I’m disappointed for him that we couldn’t get him in the box and see what he can do closer to goal, but he did really well when he came on.”
