The Former Arsenal striker became a cult figure at the Emirates where he was more renowned for his tales off the pitch than his prowess’s on it; which frankly weren’t much to talk about anyway. After 9 years at North London, where he spent most of his time on loan, he finally moved to Wolfsburg on a permanent deal.

He has now made a return to his Boyhood club, Copenhagen, and will play for them in the Danish Super Liga. He has long been dubbed Lord Bendtner and has become the subject of many hilarious memes. To his credit, he has taken it all in his stride and has participated in the fun as well.

Video footage of his first training session with Copenhagen has now come to light. Bendtner’s Copenhagen shirt sales caused their website to crash. Their hopes are bound to crash similarly after watching his highlights from the video. Unless you’re a football troll.
