Soccer star Carlos Tevez pots plants at Macclesfield Community Garden Centre
Manchester City player Carlos Tevez starred in front of 76,000 fans at Old Trafford on Monday...then spent Tuesday potting plants at Macclesfield Community Garden Centre.

The Argentine international has been sentenced to carry out 250 hours of community service for breaching a driving ban and was ordered to do the work at the garden centre.

Tevez arrived in his Porsche, just as he had done on day one of his punishment when he spent time cleaning an industrial estate. The striker spent two hours potting plants in a grey jumper and blue tracksuit bottoms.

On Sunday he will take to the Wembley turf to lead City's charge against Chelsea in their FA Cup semi-final.

GTN Xtra contacted Macclesfield Community Garden Centre but a spokesman said there was no comment to be made on Tevez's appearance at the centre.
