David Bentley has made a statement on the Tottenham hotspur official website following his arrest for drink driving in the early hours of this morning. The former Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers star, who has been heavily linked with moves to Aston Villa and Manchester City in recent months, stated the following:
“I should like to apologise to my Club and the supporters for my actions which led to my car accident last night and my subsequent charge.
“It was wholly unacceptable and I fully appreciate that as a professional footballer I have a duty to behave in a reputable and responsible manner.
“I am thankful that nobody was injured in the accident. This has been a wake-up call for me both personally and professionally.”
