Former England footballer Trevor Sinclair has been sentenced to 150 hours of community service after pleading guilty to racially aggravated harassment while drink driving.

Sinclair pleaded guilty at Blackpool Magistrates' Court after the incident on November 12 last year, in which the TV pundit was found driving while at twice the limit.

The 44-year-old also asked if his arrest was due to his being black before proceeding to urinate in a police car, and continued racist behaviour after being taken to Blackpool Police Station.

"[Sinclair] started asking if it was because he was black. Black people are under-represented in the police," a statement by PC Gareth Evans read in a court.

"He started getting more confrontational, he was getting more aggressive. I did not like the direction the conversation was going in - he was accusing me of being racist.

"Sinclair's behaviour following his arrest was awful. I'm not a racist. His behaviour was extremely racist."

The pundit has also been given a 20-month driving ban following the incident.
