Squash player sues Tesco over shop fall

A shopper who claims he can no longer play squash after slipping on greenery that had fallen from a flower display is suing Tesco for up to £100,000.

Robert Sutton, 62, damaged his left knee at the Southend Road, Woodford Green branch of the supermarket on July 17, 2009.

He claims he can no longer return to his "physically demanding" job after he "suffered a fracture through the patella". The writ says he had an operation but still has a stiff knee.
