Bowyer clocked at 132mph

NEWCASTLE midfielder Lee Bowyer reached 132mph in his silver Porsche 911 before he was stopped by police, magistrates were told yesterday.

The former Leeds player was pulled over on a 70mph stretch of the A1 in July after an officer followed his sports car for more than eight miles.

Bowyer, who denies speeding at almost twice the limit, was said to have been driving at an average of 112mph, but his speed peaked at 132mph, Tynedale magistrates were told.
