    40K-a-week Diouf gets legal aid

    BOLTON Wanderers star El-Hadji Diouf has been given legal aid to fight a charge of spitting at a fan - despite earning a reported £40,000 a week


    Diouf qualifies for legal aid under the present rules because he is a French speaker and may need an interpreter and could lose his livelihood if found guilty by being banned from every ground in the country

    A spokesman for the Legal Services Commission said: "There are certain charges in the magistrates court for which you can get legal aid and for which you are not means tested.

    "I understand he has qualified for legal aid because he could lose his livelihood if convicted."

    The spokesman added: "An average amount for this type of case is £500 in legal costs."
