An ex-footballer who crashed a stolen van into a fence and threw a loaded revolver into a family's garden while on the run from police has been jailed.
Luke Thomas, who represented Nottingham Forest before a knee injury curtailed his career, admitted acting as a "courier" on 10 June last year.
Nottingham Crown Court heard he had become depressed after the injury.
The 20-year-old admitted possessing a firearm and ammunition, as well as dangerous driving.
He was jailed for five years and eight months and disqualified from driving for 44 months.
Feel a bit sorry for this lad, you cannot defend what he has done but you can't help but wonder what could have been if he didn't suffer that very nasty injury.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.
