Three days before the start of the new season, David Bentley has been charged with drink driving after smashing his car into a lamppost.
The winger was discovered standing near the wreckage of his black 911 in a dark country lane in Northaw, Herts, at 3am this morning.
Bentley, 24, lost control of his £90,000 supercar when driving back to his home in Cuffey, Herts.
In a bizarre turn of events, winger David Bentley apologised for his involvement in a driving incident - which had yet to be publicised.
In a statement on the club's official website, www.tottenhamhotspur.com, Bentley has said the incident was a "wake up call both personally and professionally".
The statement reads: "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."
He has been bailed until August 28.
The England international had fallen out of favour with manager Harry Redknapp following a series of poor displays last season, and had been the subject of interest from Aston Villa and Manchester City this summer.
