ENGLAND and Tottenham football star Jermain Defoe has lost an appeal against his conviction for speeding in Chigwell.
Mr Defoe, 27, was twice caught breaking the 50mph limit on the northbound section of the M11 in his Land Rover last year.
In July he was disqualified from driving for six months, fined £1,500 for failing to tell the authorities who was driving the vehicle and was also ordered to pay £600 costs, but the sentence was suspended pending the appeal.
