Former Premier League striker Danny Graham had drunk 'up to 10 pints' before he crashed his Land Rover through a Wynyard shop - and 'can't remember' why he got behind the wheel.
The dad-of-three, who started his football career at Middlesbrough FC, was found to be almost three times the legal limit after he ploughed his 4x4 through the store front of the Co-op Village Store in Wynyard, Teesside, GazetteLive reports. He's now been banned from the roads for two years and given a 90-day drinking ban after admitting drink driving at Teesside Magistrates' Court.
Graham also turned out for Sunderland, Blackburn and Swansea during his career has explained how he had been playing golf before going to a friend's house to enjoy some drinks. He told a probation officer that he'd had 'between five and 10 pints' and had intended on getting a taxi home.
