Joe Stickings, prosecuting, told Colchester Magistrates' Court the shot-stopper pulled up behind a police car and was breathlysed, later recording 85microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath at the police station.
Shilton, who gave his address as Kenilworth, Warwickshire, admitted the offence at court this morning.
Paul Tawn, mitigating, said he was a man of previously good character.
Dr Ilona Perkins-Van-Mil, chairman of the magistrates, fined Shilton £850 and ordered him to pay £170 costs. He was also banned from driving for 20 months.
