NSW Police have dropped domestic violence charges against former English Premier League star Dietmar Hamann who had previously pleaded not guilty to assaulting his girlfriend while on holiday in Sydney.
The 46-year-old former German international was accused of pushing his girlfriend Bridget Gray at a Randwick home in June.
His case was listed for mention in Waverley Local Court on Thursday, but a court official confirmed on Friday that the assault charge and application for an apprehended violence order were withdrawn.
Magistrate Michael Crompton formally dismissed the matter.
Hamann - who also played for Manchester City and Newcastle - helped Liverpool win the Champions League in 2005.
He now works as a soccer pundit for Irish television network RTE.
