Colin Hendry: Ex-Scotland footballer given harassment warning
Former Blackburn Rovers and Scotland footballer Colin Hendry has been given a warning by Lancashire Police for allegedly harassing his ex-girlfriend.
Mr Hendry, 49, from Lytham reportedly pestered beautician Sarah Kinder after their relationship broke down.
The warning does not count as a criminal record but runs for 12 months to deter an individual from future conduct causing distress.
A police spokesman said a harassment warning was given to a man aged 49.
Mr Hendry had been in a relationship with Ms Kinder after the death of his wife Denise, 42, in 2009 following cosmetic surgery.
He is due to appear at Blackpool Magistrates' Court on 4 March to face a drink-driving charge.
The central defender captained his country and played in both the 1996 European Championship and the World Cup two years later.
Hendry was also a member of the Blackburn side which won the Premier League title in 1994-95.
Since then he has managed Blackpool and Clyde.
