Arsenal goalkeeping great Jens Lehmann has gone on trial for allegedly using a chainsaw on an elderly neighbour's garage, dodging parking fees and insulting police officers.

The former Germany international, 54, was accused of trespassing, causing damage, committing fraud and insulting behaviour.

The Invincibles goalkeeper, denied all charges in a court in Starnberg, Bavaria on Friday insisting that 'enormous damage' has been done to his reputation.

Last July, Lehmann reportedly damaged the roof beam on his 92-year-old neighbour's garage with a chainsaw because it supposedly blocked his view of Lake Starnberg in Bavaria.

The police claimed the former goalkeeper was caught causing the damage on a surveillance camera.
