Former Tottenham Hotspur star Chris Armstrong convicted of possessing cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis
Former Tottenham Hotspur star Chris Armstrong has been convicted of possessing cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy after a police raid.
The ex-striker was caught with three stashes of Class A and Class B drugs during the raid in July.
The 45-year-old, who made his name at Crystal Palace, was caught with the drugs in Kensington, West London.
He admitted possession charges and was fined £375 at Hammersmith Magistrates’ Court, The Sun reports.
In March 1995, Armstrong became the first-ever Premier League player to fail a drug test after testing positive for cannabis.
He returned to the game within a month after attending a brief rehab programme, finishing the season on 18 goals for Crystal Palace.
