It appears the "lapses of concentration" that Sir Bobby talks about include driving his car ... because Bramble crashed into a wall on the A140 in the village of Newton Flotman on Saturday night.
A Norfolk Police spokesman said five or six people were travelling in the BMW but no-one was injured. Mr Bramble was given a breath test which was negative.
Eddie Sargent, 55, who lives in the house, said he and wife Linda, 54, were concerned for the people in the car.
Mr Sargent said: "We just heard an incredible bang. The car was full of people and they all got out and went across the road."
It seems the Toon defender is as good (bad) a driver as Kieron Dyer, who crashed his sports car on the Newcastle Swing Bridge not so long ago.
