S-LEAGUE football star Aliff Shafaein was on Tuesday shown the red card for his multiple offences on the road - a month after he crashed while driving unlicensed and uninsured on the morning of the Singapore Cup final.

The former Tampines Rovers vice-captain was fined $4,800 over the accident and jailed for three weeks for a separate offence of driving while disqualified.


That offence was committed four years ago, but the court was not told why it took so long to convict him.

Aliff, 28, was also banned from driving for 18 months.

He first had his licence suspended in 2006. Since then, he had racked up 12 more traffic offences - culminating in last month's crash.

He was fined a total of $10,500 on Tuesday for these offences.
