Former Manchester United and West Brom defensive midfielder Ronnie Wallwork was sentenced to 15 months in jail on Monday for selling on parts from stolen cars. The 34-year-old - who was fortunate to escape with his life when he was stabbed several times in a Manchester bar five years ago - pleaded guilty to three counts of handling stolen goods at an earlier hearing.
His illegal vehicle-breaking operation was discovered by police when they were investigating several unconnected armed robberies across Lancashire. It emerged he had sold a Volkswagen Touran engine and parts from a BMW 318i on eBay, while he was observed driving a Mazda Furano into the scrapyard three days after it was stolen from a car dealer.
