Tottenham Hotspur and England midfielder David Bentley charged with drink driving

England and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder David Bentley has been charged with drink driving and bailed until August 28. The former Arsenal and Blackburn player released a statement via the club's official website apologising to the fans for his behaviour. It read: '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.' Bentley has endured a frustrating time since a £15million move to Spurs in 2008 and is unlikely to be a first team regular this season under Harry Redknapp. He has won six England caps.
