A PREMIERSHIP footballer accused of raping a 21-year-old woman at his flat in Beckenham today made his first court appearance.

Goalkeeper Graham Stack, 23, currently on loan to Millwall from Arsenal, appeared before District Judge Paul Carr at Bromley Magistrates’ Court.

He is alleged he committed the rape at his flat in Coper’s Cope Road, Beckenham, on Wednesday, September 1.

Another man, Allan Smillie, 22, an operations analyst from Feltham, appeared with Stack charged with sexually assaulting the same girl.

Both men spoke only to confirm their names and addresses. They were released on conditional bail until a hearing at Croydon Crown Court next Tuesday, November 30.
