Soccer-Bosnich pleads guilty to rash driving charge, dodges conviction

June 9 (Reuters) - Former Australia goalkeeper Mark Bosnich has escaped conviction after pleading guilty to a charge of reckless driving in a road rage incident that left a cyclist injured last year. Bosnich, who played for Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa in the English Premier League and now works as a TV soccer pundit in his home country, was charged after he knocked the cyclist from his bike when driving a BMW in Sydney a year ago. Bosnich was given a one-year 'good behaviour bond', a form of probation in Australia, without conviction by Sydney's Downing Centre court. Magistrate Michael Price said his offence was on the "lower end of culpability" and that he was a man of good character, local media reported. "It was a misjudgment and now we can all put it behind us," local media quoted Bosnich as saying outside the court. (Writing by Ian Ransom; Editing by Amlan Chakraborty)
