Dion Sanderson to appear in court on drink-driving charge.

WMP Statement:

“Dion Sanderson, 24, has been charged with drink driving and will appear before magistrates in Birmingham on 30 April. He has been bailed until that date.”

Club Statement:

"The club was informed by West Midlands Police early last week that Dion Sanderson had been charged in relation to a drink-driving offence. Sanderson reported the incident to club officials on the same day.

"As a result, disciplinary action was taken by the club and the decision was made to remove the Men’s First Team captaincy from the Blues defender for the remainder of the season.

"Sanderson has apologised to his teammates for his gross error in judgement and accepts full responsibility for his actions. The matter has been dealt with internally and no further comment will be made at this time."

Well there's your answer as to why he's no longer the captain. Blokes always out totting, hopefully this will be a lesson learned for him.

Something wrong in the dressing room if any player thinks this kind of behaviour is acceptable. What other misdemeanours do they think they can get away with? Hope he gets fined the maximum allowable by the club. Teams nowadays can't afford to have players doing this kind of thing.

The team is in disarray and facing relegation and the first team captain has his sights set elsewhere.
Yikes. Speaks volumes.

Sanderson was banned from driving for six months last year cos he was racking up speeding tickets

Could be a hefty one as I'm sure he's had his license revoked in the past for the same offence
