The man allegedly committed the sexual act or acts with animals near to the Spurs training ground in north London last September, the Evening Standard reported.

Reportedly jury members were in hysterics as they were told how a man tried to bugger a sheep after he could not get a cow to felate him just yards from Tottenham's football training ground.

"I well understand that there are aspects of it this case that are unusual and amusing," said Judge James Patrick.

"If you do find the case particularly funny, if you can try to get over your laughter over lunch that would be great," he added.

The accused was seen by a young couple picnicking close by who claim to have seen him strip before committing the sex crimes.

The couple took photos of him on a mobile phone which are due to be presented at his trial.

The 61-year-old from Enfield appeared at Wood Green Crown Court yesterday where prosecutors dropped a charge of indecent exposure due to a lack of evidence.

The trial continues, however the man is currently on bail on condition he does not return to Whitewebbs Lane or Archers Wood in Enfield, north London, where it is claimed he carried out the animal sex attacks on September 4.
