A once-promising footballer whose career "fell by the wayside" was arrested at Manchester Airport after embarking on a different path. Sean Calvert had been on the books at Tranmere Rovers as a young midfielder.

Calvert was found to have "worked alongside" fellow user "EmuVest" in purchasing kilogram quantities of class A drugs, which were then broken down into smaller amounts and sold at street
