Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was hailed by Arsene Wenger as a footballer who could "play anywhere" But a career that promised so much at Arsenal faltered and saw him spend years flitting between the second and third tiers of English football.

In 2020 he moved to play in Scotland and was still plying his trade north of the border when he was arrested at his home in Gourock , near Glasgow .

Sixteen days earlier , Border Force officers had stopped two women at London Stansted Airport and found drugs in their cases.

Emmanuel-Thomas changed his plea to guilty at the start of May .

Charges against both Ms Piotrowska and Ms Rowland were dropped after the prosecution revealed they had been tricked by the defendant.

He appeared via video link from HMP Chelmsford at his latest court hearing.
