THE Chief Executive of Colchester United has resigned after being arrested for drink-driving.
Steve Bradshaw, who took over the role just 12 months ago, was driving back to Clacton after a club Christmas party when he had a minor accident in Bradfield.
Police were called and routinely breathalysed the 43-year-old on December 14, where they discovered he was over the legal limit.
Mr Bradshaw has apologised for the “error of judgement” and immediately tendered his resignation.
This was yesterday accepted by the chairman of the club, Robbie Cowling.
