FORMER Premier League star Dalian Atkinson died after being kicked like a “football” by a police officer who Tasered him for six times longer than standard, a court heard.
The 50,000-volt blast was fired into the ex-Manchester City and Aston Villa player for 33 seconds when its usual deployment is just five seconds, a jury was told.
Mr Atkinson, who was 48, blacked out and suffered a cardiac arrest on the way to hospital, where he died.
