This is the moment a former Rapid Bucharest star is stopped for a breathalyser test but is so drunk he stumbles backwards and falls to the ground in a heap after blowing into the machine.

The scenes were recorded by an onlooker after former Rapid Bucharest striker Andrei Cretu was stopped by police on the Bucharest - Ploiesti motorway in Romania.

In the video, the 31-year-old, who is currently without a club, can be seen blowing into a breathalyser being held by a police officer on the side of the motorway.

Once the striker finishes giving the sample he stumbles backwards for a step before falling straight back on the tarmac.

Cretu can be seen lying on the ground face-up as the police officers runs to see he is okay, lightly touching his face.

Cretu remains lying down for a second or two before getting to his feet and following the officer after another cop suggests taking Cretu to the hospital to have his blood alcohol content taken.

Local media report the cops found Cretu had a blood alcohol level of 0.17 grams for every 100 millilitres of blood and he was handed a 90-day suspension of his licence.

Reports state Cretu currently works in Bucharest as a salesman for a real estate firm after he was released by Raminu Valcea in 2014.

He was under contract with Romanian giant Rapid Bucharest for three seasons but he was loaned out for much of his time there.
