Former Tottenham footballer Chris Armstrong has been told he's narrowly avoided jail after punching a Tesco worker in the face and causing £2,000 of damage to a store.

The ex-striker, who's now 50, was fined £180 and given an 18-month community order after pleading guilty to the offence in Chelsea last summer.

The judge said she was "just about persuaded" Armstrong shouldn't go to prison.
