England Goalkeeper Peter Shilton was called a ‘a little ‘f***ing c***’

BT worker Adam Ledgerton, 25, left a voicemail for the ex-goalie’s wife Stephanie, saying: “Let him know that he is a fat Tory, a little ‘f***ing c***’. If I see him, I will break his f***ing neck.”

The message left former NHS boss Stephanie, who now manages her husband’s business affairs, “distressed and scared”.

The couple also had to “change their plans” and be “extra careful when going to events in case the defendant turns up,” Wirral JPs heard.

Ledgerton, of Liverpool, admitted sending a communication conveying a threatening message. He is sentenced next month.
