Australia soccer star Sam Kerr has denied she was “drunk and kicking off” in the back of a London taxi before the ill-fated exchange with police that led to her being tried on a racially aggravated public order offence in a British court.
On a draining day in the witness box, the Matildas captain relived the racism her family suffered in Australia, spoke of her similar experiences in England, and reiterated she and her partner Kristie Mewis were “terrified” and feared they were being “kidnapped” by the cab’s driver.
