David Michael Bentley (born 27 August 1984 in Peterborough^[1]) is an English footballer who plays for Blackburn Rovers. He can play in several positions across the midfield, but he has been utilised most effectively as a winger. Bentley started his career with Arsenal, and despite being earmarked as one for the future, saw his playing opportunities limited by a strong senior squad. He spent two seasons on loan with Norwich City and Blackburn, and sealed a permanent transfer to Rovers in January 2006. Bentley produced strong performances for his new club, and soon featured regularly for the England national under-21 football team. In May 2007 he was named for the first time in his career as part of the England senior team due to play a Euro 2008 qualifier, and made his full international debut by coming on as a substitute against Israel on 8 September 2007. is the 239th day of the year (240th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Club career

Arsenal and Norwich City

Bentley started his youth career at Wormley Football Club in Hertfordshire, before moving to Arsenal at the age of 13 as a forward, occasionally playing in the hole.^[2] However, as seasons went by he found himself being used primarily in midfield, usually as a wide midfielder.^[2] He was only 16 when Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger asked him to join in training with the senior squad.^[3] By January 2003, he was handed his senior début, coming on as a substitute for Kolo Touré in the 77th minute of a 2–0 FA Cup Third Round win over Oxford United.^[1] Bentley's first goal for Arsenal, an audacious lob in a 4–1 FA Cup win over Middlesbrough in January 2004, earned comparisons with Arsenal veteran Dennis Bergkamp.^[1] For the similarly named county in the West Midlands region, see Herefordshire. ...

However, Bentley spent the whole of the next league season on loan to Norwich City, playing 26 league games and scoring two goals.^[4] His season at Carrow Road was interrupted by an injury sustained in January. He returned to the side in April 2005, coming off the bench against Manchester United and playing a key role in Norwich's 2–0 win.^[5] Despite a late run of form, the Canaries were relegated from the Premier League on the last day of the season. Bentley returned to Arsenal in the summer of 2005, but submitted a transfer request, citing his desire for first team football.^[1] In subsequent interviews, he also revealed that he was having "personal problems" at that point in his career and had lost his enjoyment for football — problems which he overcame later in his Blackburn Rovers career.^[6] He later admitted he had been addicted to gambling in the early stages of his career, reaching a peak of placing 100 bets a day. He got over his problems in 2005, with the help of his girlfriend.^[7] The 2004-2005 season was the 125th season of competitive football in England. ...

Blackburn Rovers

Desiring a permanent move, Bentley was linked with a number of clubs including Wolves, before being dispatched on a further season's loan to Blackburn Rovers in August 2005; in January 2006, Blackburn announced they had signed Bentley on a permanent basis from Arsenal.^[8] In his first match after permanently signing for Blackburn, he scored his first senior hat trick in a 4–3 victory against Manchester United, becoming the first player in the history of the Premiership to score three goals in one game against United.^[8] Bentley went on to feature regularly for Blackburn in the 2005–06 season, and helped the club finish sixth in league standings and qualify for the 2006-07 UEFA Cup.^[4][9] Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club are an English professional football club based in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. ...

The 2006–07 season saw Bentley become more of a regular goalscorer for Rovers, including some stunning strikes in the Premiership.^[10][11] In Europe, a 25 yard volley against Salzburg in the UEFA Cup helped secure Rovers' passage into the group stage,^[12] where he also scored a last minute winner against Wisla Krakow.^[13] Bentley's club performances attracted much transfer speculation. However, on 27 February 2007, despite being linked to a move to Manchester United, he agreed to a new contract that would keep him with Blackburn until 2011.^[14][15] Commenting on the new deal, Rovers manager Mark Hughes described Bentley as "a great talent with a big future" while Chairman John Williams added that he "is widely regarded as one of the best young footballers in the country."^[15] Bentley ended the season with seven goals and 13 assists for Blackburn, the latter statistic also highlighting his creative importance to the team.^[4] The young midfielder was later voted by Rovers fans as the club's Player of the Year.^[16] The new Wembley Stadium was completed in time for the 2006-07 seasons FA Cup Final. ...

Bentley recorded similar statistics in the following campaign, scoring eight goals and providing 13 assists.^[4] Blackburn finished seventh in the Premier League, but did not qualify for European competition. Bentley's consistent performances for his club however ensured that he played in a series of post-season friendlies for England. In June 2008 however, Bentley stated his desire to leave Blackburn Rovers in search of European football. The 2007–08 season is the 128th season of competitive football in England. ...

International career

Bentley has played for the England under-15 and under-16 teams, captained the England under-18 team and played for the England national under-21 football team.^[1][8] He recorded eight caps and four goals with the under-21 team,^[17] and was the first Englishman to score at the new Wembley Stadium in the game against the Italy Under-21 squad on 24 March 2007.^[18] First International England U-21 0-0 Wales U-21 (Molineux, Wolverhampton; December 15, 1976) Biggest win England U-21 8-1 Finland U-21 (Boothferry Park, Hull; October 12, 1977) Biggest defeat Romania U-21 4-0 England U-21 (PloieÅŸti, Romania; October 14, 1980) & England U-21...

In May 2007, following an impressive 2006–07 season for Blackburn, Bentley was called up for the England B international at Turf Moor for the match against Albania. After naming him as a starter, England manager Steve McClaren said Bentley had the potential to become England's "new David Beckham".^[19] In that match, Bentley provided the cross for Stewart Downing's first goal and was involved in the buildup to Downing's second in the 3–1 victory for England.^[20] He received the Man of the Match award for his performance.^[20] The next day, he was named in McClaren's 26-man full England squad for the friendly match against Brazil and the Euro 2008 qualifier against Estonia.^[6] England B team England B is a secondary football team run occasionally as support for the England national football team. ...

In June 2007, Bentley was called up to the England Under-21 squad for the European Under-21 Championships in Holland. However, he pulled out of the squad citing fatigue, and England Under-21 manager Stuart Pearce questioned the midfielder's commitment to the national squad.^[21] This withdrawal led to Bentley being excluded in the senior England squad for the friendly against Germany,^[22] but he was selected for the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia. He made his senior début when he came on as a substitute for Shaun Wright-Phillips against Israel, but was jeered by some of the fans due to his previous refusal to play for the Under-21 squad.^[23] Stuart Pearce MBE (born April 24, 1962 in Hammersmith, London) is an English football coach, currently the manager of the England Under 21s. ...

Player profile

While playing for Blackburn however, Bentley is deployed more frequently on the right side of midfield due to his ability to cross the ball.
