Redknapp tells Bentley to seize second chance

TOTTENHAM boss Harry Redknapp has told David Bentley to seize his second chance at White Hart Lane and take advantage of the fact his manager does not hold grudges.

Bentley looked set to leave Spurs earlier in the season when he angered Redknapp with his off-the-field behaviour and poor attitude in training – but the winger has been given another opportunity following a groin injury to Aaron Lennon.

Last month Redknapp dropped 25-year-old Bentley from his 18-man matchday squad because he felt the former Blackburn midfielder did not warrant a place on the bench, only to recall him for the last three games and see him star in the midweek FA Cup win at Leeds.
