Tottenham star arrested after racist rant and assault

Ledley King is no stranger to the art of drinking too much and starting a fight (see here, here and here), but he massively improved on his own impressive inebriation benchmark on a visit to London’s Punk club on Saturday night. While demanding entry to the Soho nightspot, the classy Tottenham star dished out some racism and violence, which led to a night in the cells. The Sun say:

The Tottenham captain, who had been out in the West End following his team’s 0-0 draw with Everton, spent the night in a sparse cell in a police station.

[Bouncer] Wahib said: “He was so drunk we told him to come back when he was more sober.

Can you imagine what the argument will be like when Roy Keane confronts Diouf about this picture? When two of the scariest men in football face off, the effect will be something akin to Armageddon in the north east. But with a lot more spitting.

His name is Rio etc…

We’ve already been treated to the Ferdinand brothers in their going-out holiday clothes - Rio, in particular, was experimenting with see-through materials. But now, here they are teaching the average gent how to enjoy some quality Tel Aviv beach time during the day. See how Rio casually takes his cocktail into the sea with him? That’s the sign of a very confident swimmer. Or someone who’s drunk.

Mr King celebrates the Carling win Essex-style

Despite instilling a strict dietary regime on his Spurs team, Juande Ramos sent his victorious lot off for a calorific tipple following yesterday’s Carling Cup win. Like flies to a closed window, booze-hungry Premier League stars including Jonathan Woodgate, Alan Hutton, Steed Malbranque, Aaron Lennon, Jermaine Jenas and Ledley King were drawn to Faces nightclub in Essex.
