David Hymers, 29, had been training on the field at Tynemouth Cricket Club when members of undercover organisation Guardians of the North arrived to challenge him about the messages. The disgraced sportsman was then filmed being arrested by two police officers who led him off the cricket ground. Prosecutor Andrew Espley told the court Hymers had started each online conversation with the chat-up line: "Hey, that's a nice top, did you get it on sale because it's 100 percent off at my place." Mr Espley said during the online conversations Hymers sent a picture of his penis and drawings of sex positions.
