A retired footballer has been ordered to pay a woman more than £2,500 in damages – after she stubbed her toe on a ‘keep off the grass’ sign outside his house.
Former goalkeeper Malcolm White, 73, has also been hit with a £25,000 legal bill after he was successfully sued by Emma Grady.
Miss Grady, 40, injured her left toe on a homemade wooden sign the pensioner had put on a grass verge outside his home in South Hykeham, Lincolnshire.
The sign, which measured 4ins by 10in, read ‘Please do not park on the grass’ and was erected outside his detached property.
Mr White, who played for Lincoln City, Grimbsy Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers, put it there as a favour for villagers who were fed up with parents parking on the grass verge when they collected their children from the local primary school.
But he was taken to court after Miss Grady tore the nail off her left big toe on a rusty nail when she stumbled over the sign as she went to collect her daughter from school on November 12, 2012.
Miss Grady, who lives half-a-mile away in the neighbouring village of High Hykeham, claimed it took six months for her toe nail to grow back but has been left deformed.
Mr White, who went on to play in America for Los Angeles Wolves, has been ordered to pay Miss Grady £2,541.35 in damages and £24,874.39 in court costs.
He denied erecting the sign but his wife Valerie, 72, admitted he did put it up in a telephone conversation with Miss Grady’s solicitor Katherine Trafford.
Passing judgement at Lincoln County Court, District Judge Chris Cooper said: ‘This case comes down to whether or not Mr and Mrs White or Mrs Trafford is telling the truth.
‘It is clear that the claimant suffered sizable injury after the accident.
‘I am satisfied that it happened in the way that she said it did and she stubbed her toe on the offending sign.
