Former Blackburn Rovers and Scotland footballer Colin Hendry has been sentenced to 100 hours of unpaid work after admitting to harassing his ex-girlfriend Sarah Kinder.
The 49-year-old pleaded guilty to the charge earlier this month.
Blackpool Magistrates' Court heard that as a result of suffering "emotional turmoil" over their breakup, Hendry would call Ms Kinder 10 times a day, sneak into her home and throw stones at her window, according to the Daily Mail.
Hendry, whose wife Denise passed away in 2009, has also been ordered to pay £410 in costs.
