Former England and Chelsea footballer Ray Wilkins confessed to being a "villain" and "bang out of order" after he was held for drink driving, a court has heard.
The 56-year-old was allegedly rude and abusive in custody where police conducted breath tests which revealed he was around three times over the legal limit.
But in court he claimed he had drunk just two glasses of red wine before getting behind the wheel and insisted he had been sipping water "all evening" and "felt fine".
The Sky Sports pundit was stopped near his home in Cobham, Surrey, as he returned from an awards ceremony in his Jaguar XJ at 1.45am on May 7 last year.
He was allegedly unable to stand and slurred his words before he was placed in the back of an unmarked patrol car and "passed out" on the way to Reigate police station.
Staines magistrates were shown CCTV footage in which Wilkins unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade after officers insisted he gave breath samples before making a call to his wife.
Wilkins was awarded an MBE in 1993 When questioned about it he said he could not recall being offensive or saying he was "bang out of order" or a "villain".
Earlier the court heard he had handed out medals to children during a ceremony in Bournemouth the previous evening.
He left the event at around 11pm and was pulled over when a police constable spotted his car "weaving" down the road shortly after it allegedly hit a traffic island close to his home.
Wilkins rejected suggestions that he "passed out" in the officer's car as he was being driven to the police station and that he had drunk "a lot of alcohol".
He told the court: "I was extremely tired after a long day, a lot of driving and I was a tired person".
Wilkins, who won 84 England caps, was charged after tests revealed he had 104 and 102 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - almost three times the legal limit.
Wilkins, who also played for Manchester United and was awarded an MBE in 1993 for services to football, denies drink driving.
The trial continues.
