He said he couldn't remember why he got behind the wheel
Former Premier League striker Danny Graham appeared in court after he ploughed his Land Rover through a local shop.
Details from the collision were revealed at the Middlesbrough court on Friday. Graham, who has also played for Sunderland and Swansea during his career, says he had been playing golf before going to a friend's house to enjoy some drinks. Police were called and the 37-year-old was taken into the home of a witness to await for the arrival of officers for his "protection", prosecutor Mike Lawson said. The defendant was taken to the University Hospital of North Tees, in Stockton, in an ambulance where he was subject to the drink drive procedure.
Mr Lawson outlined that around £5,000 worth of damage was caused to the store and it had to remain closed for five days - resulting in an estimated total loss of £32,000.
