Smith dropped from England squad after 'bottle-throwing' arrest

Leeds United striker Alan Smith has been dropped from England’s friendly against Denmark on Sunday after he was arrested over allegations he threw a bottle into the crowd at Leeds’s Elland Road ground last month.

Smith, 23, was called up England manager Sven Goran Eriksson as a replacement for Darius Vassell, who suffered a knee injury when playing for Aston Villa in a friendly in Dubai on Wednesday.
