Southampton striker Charlie Austin admits driving offence after colliding with a cyclist, 37, who rode through a red light with no helmet

A Premier League footballer has admitted a driving offence that left a cyclist who rode through a red light with no helmet in critical condition.

Southampton striker Charlie Austin's Bentley collided with Anthony Grey near the clubs stadium last October.

Mr Grey, 37, suffered brain, neck and toe injuries and had a metal plate inserted in his damaged spine so he would be able to recover use of his legs after the crash.

The charity worker said he now suffers memory loss and cannot remember anything about the incident but says he is desperate to meet the millionaire Southampton FC striker to 'get some closure'.
