Saunders, who also played for Aston Villa and Derby County and was capped by Wales 75 times, is a regular football TV pundit.

He said he had been out at Chester Races and had drunk two pints.

His lawyer suggested this may have "interacted" with the medication he takes for injury to his knees and his inhaler for his asthma.

Police who arrested him said Saunders was slurring his speech and had to prop himself up against his car when he was asked to get out of the vehicle.
