FORMER England and Chelsea footballer Ray Wilkins was too drunk to stand when he was stopped for driving his car erratically, a court has been told.
Wilkins, 56, slurred his words and leaned on his Jaguar XP for support when he was pulled over near his Cobham home on May 7 last year, magistrates heard.
North Surrey Magistrates' Court also heard he fell asleep in a police patrol car and later swore at officers.
Mr Wilkins denies a charge of drinking and driving.
The footballer won 84 caps for England and played for clubs including AC Milan, Chelsea and Manchester United during a career that spanned three decades.
In 1993 he was appointed MBE for services to football.
The case continues.
