Surprised he's allowed to play
Mansfield Town forward Lucas Akins played for the League One club just hours after pleading guilty to causing the death of a cyclist.
The 36-year-old admitted causing the death of cyclist Adrian Daniel by careless or inconsiderate driving, at a hearing at Leeds Crown Court on Tuesday.
Later that evening he played for The Stags in a goalless draw with Wigan Athletic at their One Call Stadium home.
Akins is due to be sentenced on 24 April.
Mr Daniel, 33, died 10 days after he was struck by Akins' Mercedes car in Huddersfield in March 2022.
Akins has continued to play for Mansfield since the crash happened two years ago, and the club has declined to comment on the situation.
Sentencing Council guidelines say the offence carries punishment of anything from a community order to up to four years in prison, depending on the circumstances of the case.
"We've known about it for some time, it's not just happened but we're not in a position to comment."
Striker Akins played the first half against Wigan on Tuesday evening but was substituted at half-time because of a hamstring problem.
Akins, who has six international caps for Grenada and counts Burton Albion and Huddersfield Town among the eight clubs he has played for during his near 18-year professional career, helped Mansfield to promotion from League Two last season.
His 14 goals in 49 appearances for the Stags last term earned him a new one-year contract, which expires in June.

Southampton relegated
RE: General Football news 2024/25 - Lord Snooty - 06-04-2025
The earliest relegation in Premier League history.
I thought that was odd when I read it, so had a quick research. I remember the date that Huddersfield Town were relegated in 2019 as March the 29th. It was our anniversary and we'd just arrived in Edinburgh when 5Live announced we were down after defeat at Crystal Palace. So we were earlier, datewise.
However, looking up our fixtures on Wikipedia, ours was game 32. Southampton are on game 31. So yes, they can have that record.

PSG win Champions League 5-0 hopefully this will signal the end of all clubs thinking playing the City way is the way to go, playing attacking football instead of having 200 passes across the back line. Pass and move is the way to go. They got 5 they could quite easily have had 8, and Inter are no mugs.
Ditch the Pep way entertain us.
Just the National Conference final today Oldham would be favourites but Southend have overcome loads of issues to get there at least Stale Mince's vegans didn't get there
