Arrest Warrant Issued For Keith Gillespie

An arrest warrant has been issued for former Manchester United and Northern Ireland footballer Keith Gillespie, it has been reported.

The 39-year-old failed to attend Newtownards Magistrates' Court on Thursday.

Gillespie, from Bangor, Co Down, had been on bail after being charged with breaching an order that said he had to stay away from an area of north Down.

By missing his court appearance, the judge said the sportsman had breached his bail, and subsequently issued a warrant.

Throughout his playing career, the former winger earned 86 caps for Northern Ireland having made his debut in September 1994.
