DRUNKEN RAFFERTY'S POLICE ESCORT

British pop star GERRY RAFFERTY had to be cajoled into a wheelchair and escorted by police to a rehab clinic after reportedly indulging in a 10-hour drinking marathon on a transatlantic flight.

The BAKER STREET songwriter was travelling from his home in America to Inverness, Scotland last month (SEP06) when he allegedly became so inebriated, he had to be taken off his executive AirMed plane and checked into Beechwood House, a clinic run by the Church of Scotland.

RUPERT DENT, managing director of AirMed, tells British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, "Mr Rafferty has flown with us many times before.

"His behaviour on the flight was impeccable but when we arrived the friend who was supposed to be meeting and looking after him refused to do so.

"It was then that police were called."
