Ex-football star Stan Collymore has been arrested in Australia.
It followed a row with British backpackers in a nightclub.
Police were called to the Woolshed nightclub in Cairns, Queensland, and ordered him to leave.
But the former Liverpool players refused and was detained.
A Cairns Police spokeswoman said: "A 34-year-old British man was charged with contravening a move on direction after behaving in a disorderly manner.
"He has been released on an undertaking that he will appear at the Cairns Magistrates Court on Friday, November 4."
According to reports, bouncers at the nightclub threw out a group of British backpackers who had taunted Collymore, before asking him to leave.
Collymore claimed he was an innocent victim and should be allowed to stay.
