Premier League winner looks completely unrecognisable from Man Utd heyday 19 years ago

Manchester United star looks completely unrecognisable from when he burst onto the scene at Old Trafford 19 years ago, when he was sharing the dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo.Chris Eagles came through the United academy and into the first team when he was just 17, although he had Ronaldo to contest with as both stars battled it out in 2003.The slick gelled-up hair and the baby face that Eagles was known for is now gone as the former Premier League winner is sporting a well-groomed beard as he enjoys retirement.But he's having to enjoy it on two wheels as his driving ban means he is left unable to drive following a drunken incident last year.Eagles won owns a Premier League and Champions League medal from his time at United, but the former winger has landed himself in trouble with the police after hanging up his boots at Oldham in 2020.The former United star was caught outside his ex-girlfriend's house three times over the limit, and was also 'partially in a state of undress' in his £70,000 Audi.Along with a driving ban, he was ordered to pay a total of £1525 in fines and costs, and has since been snapped heading out on his bicycle.And it seems as though Eagles has a record with driving incidents, as he was caught behind the wheel by Sir Alex Ferguson even though he was only 15.Eagles opened up about the situation in an interview with Ladbrokes, as he said: "I drove a car somewhere when I was 15 and Sir Alex found out about it and called me in his office.

I was petrified."It’s the worst experience ever because you don’t know what he’s going to do. I can remember standing outside of his office, sweating, going red."He used to have a folder where he used to keep his notes.
