Newcastle's Ivory Coast midfielder Cheick Tiote was handed a suspended seven- month prison sentence on Monday after he admitted possessing a fake driving licence.
.
Tiote bought the fake Belgian licence for €15,000 and then attempted to swap the forgery for a full UK licence, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
.
Tony Hawks, prosecuting, said that when passing through Belgium, the 27-year-old met a man near Brussels airport and handed over the cash and a photograph of himself.
.
He then attempted to send it off to the DVLA in Swansea with an application for a UK licence.
.
"The licence was a very good forgery but there were a number of features that showed it was a forgery," said Mr Hawks.
.
"The offence is aggravated by what he has done as he sought to change base metal into gold."
.
Suspending the imprisonment for 18 months, Judge James Goss QC told Tiote that he would have to complete 180 hours of unpaid community work.
.
"I give you credit for your plea of guilty, which has saved you from an immediate sentence of imprisonment," he said.
.
"In that way you will be punished and I have no doubt that, using your considerable talent, you will be able to assist others in the community by encouraging them and passing on your skills that way."
