    Default David Beckham denies speeding charge..

    David Beckham denies speeding charge after ‘Mr Loophole’ lawyer claims legal papers were served late.


    David Beckham has admitted speeding - but denied a speeding charge

    Solicitor Nick Freeman claims the car was loaned from Bentley - and that the notice was sent to the manufacturer instead of to Becks

    The former England superstar, 43, will stand trial later this month after he was caught driving a loaned £200,000 Bentley at 59mph in a 40mph zone in January.

    He admitted driving nearly 20mph over the speed limit in a loaned Bentley - but denies speeding because legal papers were served late, his lawyer has claimed.

    His solicitor Nick Freeman, dubbed Mr Loophole for representing several celebrities facing driving charges, said it was "admitted" Beckham was behind the wheel and broke the limit.

    But during a hearing at Wimbledon Magistrates Court today, Mr Freeman indicated a not guilty plea on Beckham's behalf because he claimed legal papers about the offence were not served on time.

    A trial date of September 27 was set during the case management hearing, which Beckham did not attend.

    The court was told a stamp to indicate receipt of the letter was dated February 7.

    Prosecutor Simon Maughan said: "I'm accepting of the letter, I'm accepting of the date on the letter, I'm accepting that the seventh has been stamped on the letter.

    "There can be no issue with the date on the letter."

    Beckham, of Holland Park, West London, allegedly broke the limit while driving on the A40 flyover in Paddington, Central London.

    Referring to the punishment if Beckham is found guilty, District Judge Barbara Barnes said: "I think we're in unlimited fines territory."

    She added: "Service of the intended prosecution should be received within 14 days. The defence say it was outside 14 days."

    A trial date has been fixed for September 27.
