In October 2006 Peter Mendham was arrested and charged with the attempted

murder of his 39-year-old girlfriend at their house in Norwich after a heated

argument. The woman had suffered a stab wound and lost a kidney during

emergency surgery. In December he denied the attempted murder charge,

but one month later, he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of wounding with intent.

 

On 21 February 2007 Mendham was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison.

On 24 May 2007 he announced that he would appeal against the sentence. He won

the appeal and the sentence was reduced to five years.

 

In 2011, he returned to football as assistant manager at Newmarket Town F.C.
