Mohamed Salah may have left Liverpool with 257 goals, nine years of unforgettable memories and a reputation as one of the club’s greatest players, but his latest headline has nothing to do with football. The Egyptian superstar has been handed a six-month driving ban after his Rolls-Royce was recorded speeding in Cheshire—turning a routine journey into an unexpected addition to his career statistics.
SALAH:FROM ANFIELD LEGEND TO THE COURTROOM SCOREBOARD
According to court documents, the luxury vehicle was recorded travelling at 36mph in a 30mph zone in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on March 27, 2026. The incident occurred just days after Salah announced his departure from Liverpool following nine seasons at the club.
The footballer reportedly failed to provide information identifying who was driving the Rolls-Royce when requested by Cheshire Constabulary. He did not respond to the notice of prosecution or enter a plea, and the matter was handled under the Single Justice Procedure at Warrington Combined Court.
SIX MONTHS ON THE BENCH—THIS TIME WITHOUT A FOOTBALL
The court imposed a six-month driving disqualification and ordered Salah to pay £1,044. The case centred on the failure to identify the driver, rather than simply handing out a punishment for the recorded speed.
In football terms, Salah has spent years making defenders look helpless with his acceleration. But this time, a speed camera appears to have delivered the decisive tackle. With the Egyptian captain now playing for Turkish club Trabzonspor after his Liverpool exit, fans may be wondering whether his next transportation arrangement will involve a chauffeur, a bicycle or a very patient taxi driver.
Salah’s Liverpool legacy, however, remains substantial. He scored 257 goals in 442 appearances for the club, and Liverpool described him upon his departure as one of the greatest players in its history. His latest legal setback does not erase those achievements—but it certainly adds an unusual chapter to his post-Anfield story.
For now, the football world can only watch as Mohamed Salah exchanges the freedom of the open road for six months on the driving sidelines. Whether this becomes a brief legal speed bump or another memorable episode in the Egyptian star’s remarkable career, OGM News FC will be watching for further updates.
