Gary Madine, who starred in the English top flight for Cardiff City, sped off from police in his Range Rover after reports of a disturbance.
A former Premier League footballer ploughed into a car and fled the scene after leading police on a dangerous chase in his Range Rover. Gary Madine, who starred in the English top flight for Cardiff City FC, behaved in a "ridiculously stupid" manner after cops turned up following reports of an early hours disturbance in Gateshead.
"During the police pursuit, he drove dangerously. There's footage of the pursuit from the dash cam of the police car. Madine was later tracked down as he was the registered keeper of the car, but he failed to respond to a request about who was driving at the time of the incident. The judge said: "It's a mystery why people in your position do this, I suspect you made off from the police because you didn't want to be breathalysed but I disregard that, the circumstances of this are bad enough.
