"A former Premier League footballer has lost the chance to appeal against an 18 month jail term for dangerous driving.

Marlon King, 34, was jailed in May after causing a pile-up in Nottinghamshire while eating ice cream.

The former Birmingham City striker applied to the Court of Appeal to have his sentence suspended so he could spend time with his family in Zambia

But three top judges said it was an "unusually bad offence" and that it was a just sentence.

King, previously of Torksey, Lincolnshire, was jailed at Nottingham Crown Court after he caused the smash on the A46 near Newark in 2013."


Really? <laugh>

Yes, really.

He was lucky not to kill someone. It seems like he was deliberately trying to cause a crash by undertaking and slamming his brakes on. Fortunately only one person was seriously injured.

He is a ****er of the highest order.
 
Ironic that his solicitor tried to use the "wife and kids in Zambia" angle when he's almost certainly the reason she's gone over there in the first place.
