Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner gets driving ban after breaking 20mph limit on Old Kent Road

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has become the latest high-profile figure to be caught speeding on London’s roads. The FA Cup-winning boss, 51, has been banned from driving for the next six months after breaking a 20mph limit. Glasner was caught by a speed camera as he drove his BMW along the Old Kent Road in Bermondsey last July. Court records reveal Glasner already had past driving offences on his record, putting him in line for an automatic ban. The Austrian wrote to Willesden Magistrates’ Court to plead guilty to speeding at 29mph on a stretch of the road which has a 20mph limit. And he submitted a handwritten note vowing not to break the law again, as he chose not to try to convince magistrates to spare him a disqualification. “I fully accept responsibility for my actions and understand the seriousness of this matter”, he said.
