A FORMER Southend United cult hero turned villain claimed his driving could not be dangerous because he didn’t kill anyone.

Footballer Bilel Mohsni, who represented the Blues between 2010 and 2013, has been convicted of dangerous driving however he insisted to police “I didn’t kill anyone so it’s not dangerous”.

Mohsni, 32, who also played for Rangers, Tunisia and had a trial at West Ham United, was banned from driving for 18 months, ordered to resit the advanced test and fined £720.

Mohsni, who played in Greece until July, is known for his on-pitch brawl with Lee Erwin during his final game for Rangers in a promotion play-off final in 2015 and his mixture of great and ghastly performances while at Southend United FC.

He was pulled over in his powerful Mercedes after officers in St Andrews, Fife, saw him overtake several vehicles on the approach to a bend, Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court heard on Monday.

He appeared to be “detached from the reality of normal road traffic rules and regulations”, according to the depute procurator fiscal.

Mohsni was on the A914 heading towards St Andrews on a Sunday morning when his dangerous driving was witnessed by police in an unmarked car. When officers cautioned him he told them: “I didn’t kill anyone so it’s not dangerous.”

At the time he was on a short-term contract with Dundee United and living in Monifieth.

The Tunisian, who lives in Paris, travelled back to Scotland to appear at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court, where he admitted driving dangerously between the Forgan roundabout and St Michaels on April 8, last year.

Deputy procurator fiscal Dev Kapadia said Mohsni passed three vehicles – including the unmarked police car – in one manoeuvre on the approach to a bend. He then overtook another vehicle at a blind spot and the officers asked police to look out for his car.

He is currently caring for his parents in Paris.
