A former Premier League football player who set up a fake dating profile and hid in a hedge to stalk an ex-partner has been jailed.
Shayne Bradley, 41, of Gloucester, repeatedly phoned the woman and sent abusive emails to her when their relationship broke down in September.
The ex Southampton and Mansfield Town striker was arrested for stalking and defied his bail contact conditions.
She said he spread lies about her and her life had been "ruined" by him.
'Predisposed to intimidate'
Gloucester Crown Court heard Bradley was arrested for stalking the woman in October having left her nightdress on her car when she was in the gym.
