Former Premier League striker Nile Ranger has admitted obstructing a police officer after being pulled over for drink driving on Christmas Eve.
Ranger, who played for Newcastle United and England under 19s, was taken to Heathrow Police station on suspicion of drunk driving last year.
He is said to have refused to test how much alcohol he had drunk at the station's custody suite.
Ranger, 30, pleaded guilty to obstructing a constable in the execution of his duty at Ealing Magistrates Court.
But his trial for failing to provide a specimen of breath was adjourned after CCTV footage of what happened at the police station had failed to be provided to the defence.
