CCTV footage of the
Manchester City striker starting his 250 hours of community service for two
motoring offences
The Argentinian
striker, 29, was ordered to do 250 hours of unpaid work last week after he
admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance.
The Sun revealed he
would be handed cleaning duties — and these exclusive CCTV images show his
gleaming white Porsche pulling up at the site in Cheshire before parking up
beside a row of haulage trucks.
Punishment ... Tevez
Tevez — expected to
play in tonight’s derby with Man Utd — then walked with his hands in his
pockets to meet his greenjacketed probation officer before being handed his
orange bib.
The Premier League
star, who brought an interpreter, soon learned his task was to clean and tidy a
30ft storage container owned by the Probation Service.
It holds equipment
and outdoor tools including lawnmowers, brushes, wheelbarrows and spades — all
used by offenders to complete their unpaid tasks.
Tevez spent around
two hours tidying the steel container, surrounded by other business units.But
witnesses told how the footballer lost his cool when one fan tried to get a
snap of him in his new position as sweeper.
One said: “Tevez
was wearing a hi-vis orange jacket with Community Payback on the back, plus a
hat, black Community Payback issue boots, and grey joggers.
“He took a fair bit
out of the container — it looked like he had to take it out to tidy it up. He
wasn’t smiling and he didn’t look happy. I saw one lad walk up to the shed.

"He must have
thought it was a great photo opportunity, but Tevez saw him and stormed up to
him saying, ‘Give me phone. Delete photo, delete photo’.
“He must have said
no because Tevez tried to reach for the phone to snatch it.
“But then the
probation officer stepped in to defuse the situation. He was asked to delete it
so he did. He didn’t want to get anyone in trouble.”
Observers told how
Tevez “drew attention to himself” by arriving in the Porsche. One said: “Who
does he think he is? What’s wrong with a bit of humility? He could have taken a
taxi or got a mate to drop him off — instead he shamelessly rolled up in his
Porsche.
“A lot of people
working here are struggling to make ends meet and his car’s worth more than
they’ll earn in years. It was a bit below the belt.”
Tevez, also banned
from driving for a further six months by Macclesfield JPs, left the site at
11.50am last Friday after finishing his task.
And
now he’s out clubbing
Hole new game ... Tevez
DRIVE ban star Tevez gets
back behind the wheel — of a golf cart.
The £200,000-a-week
ace played 18 holes with wife Vanessa at a Cheshire course on Saturday.
Di Canio cuddled by Terry
Fascism row boss
Paolo Di Canio and race rap star John Terry shared a hug yesterday.
Di Canio — forced
to deny he is a fascist despite past comments — was in charge of Sunderland for
the first time.
Embracing ... pair yesterday
And he was warmly
greeted at Chelsea by Captain John Terry, who was last year banned by the FA
for alleged racial abuse. The ex-England skipper has hailed the Italian as “a
nice guy”.
The hug angered
many fans. Ben Claflin wrote on Twitter: “They are bonding because they’re both NOT racists.”
Thomas Mac joked:
“John Terry and Paolo Di Canio meeting after the game today to plot their
takeover of Europe.”Sunderland fans chanted their new manager’s name when the
team took a shock lead. They went on to lose 2-1.
Gazza
in memory Lane trip
Hero returns ... Paul at match
TROUBLED Paul
Gascoigne looked fit and healthy yesterday as he watched his old team Spurs
score a late equaliser to draw with Everton.
Gazza, 45, sat with
ex-team-mate Gary Mabbutt, 51, and the happy pair laughed and joked.
And when Gazza
stood up adoring White Hart Lane fans took pictures of the star clad in a
jacket and pink shirt, with a pair of designer sunglasses perched on his head.
Earlier this year,
recovering alcoholic Gazza — who also played for Everton — was near death after
his vital organs packed up after years of alcohol abuse.
After a month in
rehab, he has dropped the booze in favour of sweets and chocolates.
Fit ... Gazza
