Repka jailed again for past drink drive offences

|

Former West Ham defender Tomas Repka has been handed a new nine-month jail sentence for drink driving. The latest sentence comes just two weeks after Repka was convicted of fraud and sentenced to 15 months in prison.

On Tuesday, the Prague court turned two previous suspended sentences for drink driving into jail terms because of his convictions for other crimes since receiving the initial terms. The 45-year-old has lodged an appeal for both verdicts.

Last year, Repka was given a six-month jail term last year for revenge porn, after offering his ex-wife for sexual services.

The full-back posted three pictures of his ex-wife on the internet, advertising her for escort services. The sentence was later reduced to a community order on appeal.

When he joined West Ham from Fiorentina in 2001, he became the club’s record signing at the time £5.5million.

Řepka was sent off on his West Ham debut for two bookable offences, missed a match through suspension, and was sent off again in the third match he played for the club. He went on to form a central defensive partnership with Christian Dailly before the club’s relegation to the second-tier. He gained a reputation for his disciplinary record, and received ten yellow cards that first season. In January 2006 he left West Ham to return the Czech Republic to be with his family
