Calvert was found to have "worked alongside" fellow user "EmuVest" in purchasing kilogram quantities of class A drugs, which were then broken down into smaller amounts and sold at street level using graft phones which were operated by others on their behalf.
Calvert came through the youth system at Tranmere, being described as a "fluent ball-playing midfielder with an eye for goal", and also latterly turned out for Welsh second tier side Flint Town United. Michael Scholes, defending, meanwhile referenced his client having previously coached "young, underprivileged children in Inner Mongolia".
