Playing Career |
Club(s) |
Began his junior career as a nine year old at
Manchester United FC's Youth Academy, working his way up through the youth
levels. On 14 August 2009, Drinkwater was loaned out to Huddersfield Town
AFC for the season. On 8 July 2010, he was then loaned out to Cardiff City FC
for the season, effective 6 August. He was recalled by United on 25
January 2011, then three days later, he was loaned to Watford FC for the remainder of
the season. On
23 August 2011, Drinkwater was then loaned to Barnsley FC, for what turned
out to be the season. During his time at Barnsley, United
sold Drinkwater to Leicester City FC on 12 January 2012. Then, on
Transfer deadline day, 31 August 2017, Drinkwater signed for Chelsea FC for £35 million... |
"Chelsea and England footballer Danny
Drinkwater has been charged with drink-driving after a car crash. The
midfielder was arrested after a Range Rover crashed in Mere, Cheshire, in
the early hours of Monday. Two women and a man were treated at the scene
for minor injuries, Cheshire Police said Mr. Drinkwater, 29, of Nether
Alderley in Cheshire, was released on unconditional bail to appear at
Stockport Magistrates' Court on 13 May. Police were called to reports of a
one-vehicle crash on Ashley Road in Mere at 00:30 BST and arrested the
footballer." - BBC News, Tuesday, 9 April 2019
"Danny Drinkwater has been banned from
driving after ploughing his Range Rover through a wall while twice the
legal drink-drive limit. Stockport Magistrates' Court heard he caused
£50,000 of damage to the car. Drinkwater admitted drink-driving and was
banned for 20 months. The court heard he suffered a graze to his forehead
when his car went through a wall in Ashley Road near to Tatton Park
country house. Prosecutor Subi Chowdhury said Drinkwater himself called
emergency services after the crash at about 00:30 BST and admitted
drinking alcohol to police officers. He gave a reading at Middlewich
Police station of 87 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath,
with the legal limit being 35 microgrammes. Robin Sellars, defending, said
Drinkwater was "fully compliant" with police and said he had been to a
private function, with a friend expected to drive him home. However, his
friend was unable to do so and Drinkwater decided to drive himself to his
home in Nether Alderley, Cheshire. Mr Sellars added: "He only had himself
to blame. He understands he's done wrong. He instructs me he will be
employing a driver." Mr Sellars said Drinkwater had no previous
convictions and asked for him to be punished with a fine rather than
community service. But District Judge Mark Hadfield rejected this and
sentenced him to a 12-month community order with 70 hours' community
service. The former Manchester United trainee was also ordered to pay £85
prosecution costs and an £85 victim surcharge. Mr Hadfield said: "You knew
when you got behind the wheel of that vehicle you should not have been
driving." - BBC News, Monday, 13 May 2019 |

...His less than successful time at Stamford Bridge
ended on another Transfer
Deadline Day, 8 August 2019, when he joined Burnley FC on loan, before returning
to Stamford Bridge on 3 January 2020. Then, four days later, he secured a loan
move to Aston
Villla FC until the end of the season, but was released following a
training ground clash with Jota on 11 March 2020. Drinkwater returned to
the Chelsea reserve sides until he was allowed to leave on a loan on 18
January 2021 to Turkish club side Kasιmpaşa. He joined Reading
FC on a season-long loan deal on 30 August 2021. He was released by
Chelsea at the end of his contract on 30 June 2022. Unable to find a new
club, he announced his retirement on 30 October 2023. |
