Footballer Lee Hughes has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault.

The Notts Country striker was arrested in south London in December in connection with an alleged incident at the team hotel.

Meanwhile, Paul Merson's been banned from driving for 14 months.

The former Arsenal and England player crashed his Mercedes into a 38-tonne truck on the M40 last October after falling asleep at the wheel.

Merson admitted drink-driving and has also been fined 15 hundred pounds.
