A "drink driving" trial date has been set for ex-Liverpool FC footballer and former Wrexham manager Dean Saunders.
The former striker is charged with two counts relating to an incident in Boughton, Chester.
Saunders, 56, appeared at Chester Magistrates Court yesterday.
He is charged with failing to provide a roadside breath test without reasonable excuse.
The ex-Reds frontman is also charged with failing to provide a breathalyser test at Blacon Police Station, reports Cheshire Live.
Previously a charge of driving a motor vehicle dangerously on the A51 Tarvin Road was added by the Crown Prosecution Service, but this was discontinued yesterday.
The trial will be heard before District Judge Nicholas Sanders.
Saunders will be represented by Conor Johnstone of MAJ Law.
The trial will take place on August 28 this year at Chester Magistrates Court.
Saunders was placed on unconditional bail until that date.
At the conclusion of the hearing, DJ Sanders told Saunders that, if convicted after a trial, the starting point for sentencing for such offences would be custody.
Saunders joined Liverpool in 1991 for a then-record English transfer fee of £2.9 million to partner Ian Rush and scored 11 times.
He was also capped 75 times at international level for Wales between 1986 and 2001, scoring 22 times.
He is a regular radio pundit on talkSPORT.
