Trio of footballers caught using mobiles behind the wheel within minutes of leaving club’s training ground
A HAT-TRICK of Newcastle players have been seen using their mobile phones while behind the wheel of their cars.
England star Anthony Gordon and his Toon team-mates Sandro Tonali and Sven Botman were all seen handling their devices at the wheel.
Winger Gordon, 23, was seen using his while queuing at traffic lights in his £230,000 grey Lamborghini Urus S.
Italian midfielder Tonali, 24, was filmed holding his phone as he drove off after queuing in traffic.
And Dutch centre-back Botman, 25, used his phone while sitting at traffic lights in his £155,000 Mercedes-Benz G-wagon.
They were all seen near Newcastle’s Darsley Park training ground by fans who approached and filmed them in their cars.
It is illegal to hold and use a mobile phone or any other device that can send and receive data while driving a car or motorbike.
The law still applies when drivers are stopped at lights or queuing in traffic.
Breaking the rules can result in six points on a licence and a £200 fine.
Nicholas Lyes, of road safety charity IAM Road-Smart, said: “Illegal phone use behind the wheel is distracting and dangerous.
“In 2023, there were more than 200 people either killed or seriously injured in collisions caused by phone use.
“The safest option is to put the phone somewhere safe and out of sight.”
A source added: “Using phones behind the wheel is dangerous and irresponsible.
“Football players are in a position of influence and should help to set the highest example.”
Newcastle United declined to comment.

Kelsey told The Mirror: “ Tom and I always said we wanted four – but life had other plans. So yes, this is amazing but also bittersweet.

“I’m still getting my head around it but I’m so excited. I just want everyone to be as happy as I am.”
Sir Paul McCartney warns proposed changes to copyright law will allow AI to rip off musicians
SIR Paul McCartney has warned proposed changes to copyright law will allow AI to rip off musicians.
The ex-Beatle is worried that ministers are considering letting AI developers use creators’ content online — unless the rights holders have opted out.
Macca, 82, told the BBC: “You get young guys, girls, coming up, and they write a beautiful song, and they don’t own it, and they don’t have anything to do with it.
“And anyone who wants can just rip it off.”
Referring to his band’s 1965 hit Yesterday, he said: “The truth is, the money’s going somewhere.
“Somebody’s getting paid, so why shouldn’t it be the guy who sat down and wrote Yesterday?”
He called on the Labour Government to rethink the plans, adding: “We are the people, you’re the Government.
“You’re supposed to protect us.
“That’s your job.
“So you know, if you’re putting through a Bill, make sure you protect the creative thinkers, the creative artists, or you’re not going to have them.”
A consultation, which will run until February 25, is looking at how artists can license and be remunerated for use of their material.
Critics say the idea of artists opting out is unworkable.
A Government spokesperson said: “Our aim is to deliver legal certainty through a copyright regime that provides creators with real control, transparency, and helps them license their content.
“We are keen to hear the views of the music industry on these proposals and no move will be made until we are absolutely confident that we are delivering clarity, control and transparency for artists and the sector, alongside appropriate access to data for AI innovators.”
Cancer doctor wins 268-mile ultramarathon after discovering ex-boyfriend’s affair thanks to photo from previous race
A CANCER doctor has won an ultramarathon after discovering her ex-boyfriend’s affair thanks to a photo from last year’s race.
Dr Lucy Gossage, 45, finished the 268-mile women’s Montane Winter Spine Race on Thursday evening in three-and-a-half days.
Dr Lucy Gossage works full time as an NHS oncologist at Nottingham City Hospital[/caption] The 45-year-old won the 268-mile women’s Montane Winter Spine Race on Thursday[/caption]The oncologist and 14-time Ironman champion rested for just three hours and 40 minutes.
Lucy, from Nottingham, finished third in the same event last year alongside her partner of three years.
Do YOU know the boyfriend or the other woman? Contact: Jonathan.Rose@thesun.co.uk
A friend shared photos documenting their progress on social media.
But a woman who saw them claimed she had been in a relationship with her then-boyfriend for several months.
Lucy said she was re-running the gruelling ultramarathon between Derbyshire and Scotland to “close that chapter”.
She also set out to “reclaim the memories of the Spine for myself”.
Lucy told The Times: “In the days after the race last year it transpired that a lot of what he told me about his past was made up.
“This was all coming out while I was sleep-deprived after the race. It was a really dramatic finale.
“It really did feel like my world had fallen in. It was almost like I was grieving for someone who never really existed.”
Lucy became a professional triathlete in 2014 and full-time Ironman competitor when she was 34.
She used to spend hours in Cambridge laboratories doing research for a PhD into kidney cancer.
Lucy was raising money for Move Against Cancer, a charity she co-founded in 2018 to help cancer patients be active.
During the race, her breaks included an hour’s sleep in some public lavatories.
She also had “the odd two-minute power nap lying down on the trail”.
Lucy told the BBC she had no plans to take on the event again.
She said: “I was a shell of myself [after the race]. I could barely dress myself when I got back.
“It’s something that takes you to a place that life would never usually take you.”
The race along the Pennine Way included climbing hills the equivalent of Mount Everest.

‘Risk of some more damage’ – Warnings issued over 90kph ‘strong winds’ to hit Ireland TOMORROW after Storm Eowyn chaos
IRELAND is set for another battering tomorrow with a new snow warning in place just days after the most ferocious storm in decades hit the country.
Historic Storm Eowyn brought gale force winds of 180kph and caused widespread power outages and business closures.
Weather chiefs warn over the next onslaught of bad weather on Sunday[/caption]Clean up began today as the National Emergency Co-ordination Group (NECG) came together to plan for the next onslaught of bad weather.
Met Eireann placed almost every county under a status yellow weather warning as people began to recover from Friday’s havoc.
Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, and Mayo are under a snow and ice warning until nine o’clock tomorrow morning, with weather bosses warning of “icy stretches”.
Carlow, Kilkenny, Wicklow, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, and Waterford are under a 12-hour warning for “spot flooding” from five am to five pm on Sunday.
And a yellow wind warning was issued for Carlow, Dublin, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Munster, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo from six am to six pm tomorrow.
Donegal, Leitrim, Louth, and Meath are under the same warning six o’clock tonight, while Cork, Kerry, and Waterford received the same alert until six o’clock on Monday morning.
Alan O’Reilly of Carlow Weather told his Facebook followers: “There is a risk of some gusts over 90km/h into the south, it is going to be a windy day though right across the country but nothing like what we saw (with Eowyn).
“But obviously weakened structures, weakened trees could still be brought down, so there is a risk of some more damage.
“Still windy on Monday as well – the good news is the next system on Wednesday is forecast to stay south of Ireland… but one to keep an eye on just in case.”
He later added on X: “If you are sick of this bad weather then the good news is that weather model trends show higher pressure building for end of coming week and the bank holiday weekend with milder air and some calmer weather looking likely.”
STORM SET TO HIT SPAIN
The weather expert said another storm is set to hit Spain, named Storm Herminia, which will bring us wet and windy weather on Sunday and Monday.
In Spain, it will bring very strong gusts of wind – even of “hurricane-force” over 120 km/h.
There will also be waves higher than seven metres on the northern coasts.
Met Eireann forecaster Linda Hughes said: “All eyes on this next area of low pressure. It is going to be to the west of Ireland on Sunday.
‘SLOW MOVING SYSTEM’
“It is going to bring further strong winds and wet conditions, and that is going to be a slow moving system.
“So it’s going to slowly move eastwards over Ireland during Monday and into Tuesday as it weakens. So it is going to be an unsettled picture into the start of next week.”
The spokesperson of the ESB stated that “the impact on customers and damage to the electricity network nationwide is unprecedented”.
They stated that it was “far the worst storm experienced” by the company both in terms of customers losing supply and the “scale of damage” across the network.
POWER RESTORATION UPDATE
At the time of the statement issued at 5pm today, January 25, approximately 402,000 homes, farms and businesses remain without power.
However, the ESB Networks teams have restored power to 366,000 customers since Friday afternoon.
The power restoration by all ESB Networks crews and partner contractors will continue on its repairs late into the evening and will commence once again at first light tomorrow morning.
Customers can view their estimated time of power restoration in their area on PowerCheck website, where they frequently update it throughout the days.
URGENT SAFETY WARNING
The ESB Network also issued an urgent safety warning due to the fallen debris caused by the storm, preventing people from seeing hidden risks such as exposed wire.
They said: “We have been made aware of several instances of potentially very dangerous incidents where members of the public have unknowingly approached fallen electricity infrastructure.
“Fallen debris after a storm can prevent people from seeing hidden risks such as wires entangled into trees and branches.
“If you come across fallen wires or damaged electricity network, never, ever touch or approach these as they are LIVE and extremely dangerous. Please report any damage to electricity infrastructure by calling 1800 372 999. “
Liam Payne to be honoured with special tribute at Brit Awards – and star’s former 1D bandmates could reunite on stage
BRITS bosses are planning a special tribute to One Direction singer Liam Payne at this year’s awards ceremony.
And it could mean his former bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are reunited on stage for the first time since their split ten years ago.

“It would be an entirely fitting way to honour Liam and talks are already under way about how to make this segment of the Brits unforgettable.
“Liam loved the Brit Awards and attended and performed many times over the years, both with 1D and as a solo artist, and will forever be part of the show’s history.
“It’s still in the very early stages of preparation and the finer details are still being worked out, with official approaches to be made in coming weeks, but there are set to be a mixture of performances, tasteful photo and video montages and a live orchestra.
“As well as the possibility of the One Direction lads being involved, other stars from the industry will be on hand to remember Liam on the night.”
Liam died aged 31 in October after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires.
The last time his former bandmates were seen together was at his funeral in November in Amersham, Bucks.
The service was also attended by his ex Cheryl Tweedy, who is mum to their seven-year-old son Bear.
Other mourners included Cheryl’s former bandmates in Girls Aloud, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts, and Simon Cowell, boss of The X Factor, where One Direction began in 2010.
This year’s Brits will take place at London’s 02 Arena on Saturday, March 1, hosted by comic Jack Whitehall, 36.
Liam won seven Brits with One Direction, performing at the event twice with the band and twice as a solo artist.
The Brit Awards last held a tribute set in 2016, following the death of David Bowie.
It was introduced by Annie Lennox, with a tribute speech by actor Gary Oldman.
Bowie’s band performed a medley of some of his biggest hits before Lorde performed Life on Mars.
