Nic-ked! Just weeks after picking up an £80,000 fine, Anelka cops an £80 parking ticket
OOPS: Nicolas Anelka copped a parking ticket in Chelsea [WENN]
But his appointment over-ran and a quick-thinking warden swooped to put a ticket on Anelka's black Mercedes.
Although, the mega-rich French striker needn't worry too much.
If he pays within 14 days the fine will be halved to a mere £40.
OUCH! The £80 fine is Anelka's second in a few weeks. The other was on £80,000, mind you [WENN]

His punishment was the most lenient that the FA could have imposed under their anti-discrimination rules.
The three-man panel concluded that they "did not find that Nicolas Anelka is an antisemite or that he intended to express or promote antisemitism by his use of the quenelle" - yet still moved to ban him.
The Baggies can take up a one-year option to extend Anelka's contract when it expires in the summer.
However, he has flopped since making a free transfer move and is unlikely to stay at the Hawthorns.
