Court date: Tevez arrived at Macclesfield Magistrates' Court this morning The Argentinian has struggled to pass his UK driving test because he has struggled with the theory part of the examination, the court heard He entered his guilty plea in his native Spanish with the aid of an interpreter as he stood in the dock. JPs heard that the Argentinian, who gave his full name as Carlos Alberto Tevez, has not yet got a UK driving licence, partly because he has struggled to pass the theory test, which is conducted in English. Kate Marchuk, prosecuting, told the court a police officer was called to the Mottram Hall Hotel and Golf Club in Cheshire at around 4pm on March 7 following a tip off about the footballer driving there. There had been a call from an anonymous caller, that the defendant had driven a white Range Rover to the golf club whilst disqualified. The officer confirmed this on the Police National Computer. Miss Marchuk said Tevez had been disqualified from driving on January 16, until May 25. In fact Tevez, who lives in nearby Alderley Edge, did not get into the Range Rover, but instead at around 5pm left the club and drove off in a white Porsche Cayenne. He was stopped nearby and arrested for driving while disqualified and having no insurance. The 29-year-old was stopped and arrested by police following an anonymous tip-off to officers The Argentinian athlete told the officer: 'I only live down the road. Two minutes. Tevez was taken to the police station and later bailed but at a second interview made no reply to police questions. After a short adjournment, Elizabeth Depares, chair of the bench, temporarily deferred passing sentence until Tevez had spoken to a probation officer. He was led from the dock to speak to the officer and will be brought back in due course to be sentenced. Ms Depares told the court: 'We do feel he has served a significant proportion of his disqualification. Therefore on that basis, we have been looking at a starting point of a community order. So therefore we would like Mr Tevez to speak to probation. His football club - who reportedly pay him £200,000 a week - will hope that their striker will only receive a fine..
