Danish international Nicklas Bendtner joined Arsenal a 16-year-old and was involved with the senior squad between 2005 and 2014, playing with such legends of the game as Dennis Bergkamp, Cesc Fabregas, Ian Wright and of course current Montreal Impact boss, Thierry Henry.
Simply put, at the time he joined the Gunners, Bendtner was one of the hottest young properties around. But his career didn’t quite pan out how many thought it would.
He’s been speaking to the BBC’s Steve Crossman (the full interview can be accessed on BBC Sounds) and has opened up on gambling, his ‘Lord Bendtner’ nickname, his conviction for assaulting a taxi driver and a training ground confrontation with Henry when he was just 16.
