Former Liverpool, Derby County and Aston Villa striker Dean Saunders has been jailed for 10 weeks.
The Welshman pleaded guilty to failing to comply with a roadside breath test and failing to provide a breath sample for analysis at a police station.
The 55-year-old, who was stopped on suspicion of drink driving by police in Boughton, Chester, on May 10, was sentenced on Wednesday.
Saunders had initially denied both charges at an earlier hearing but indicated a change of plea to guilty on Tuesday.
He said he had been out at Chester Races and had drunk two pints.
He will also be banned from driving for 30 months upon his release from prison and ordered to pay court costs of 620.
