BETTING SLIPS ... Nicklas Bendtner shows off sponsored boxers

Last Updated: 16th June 2012

NICKLAS BENDTNER has been charged by UEFA for showing off his sponsored boxers. 

The Denmark striker dropped his shorts to reveal a Paddy Power waistband on his underwear after netting in Wednesday’s 3-2 Euro defeat to Portugal.
His case will be heard on Monday — the day after Denmark’s final Group B game against Germany.
Bendtner, 24, can expect a fine for advertising the Irish bookies.
The Arsenal hitman has already been reprimanded by the Danish FA, despite claiming he had no idea he had broken any rules.
He said: “It is just a pair of lucky boxer shorts that I used in the first game as well and have used before the tournament.
“I didn’t know I was breaking any rules but I am aware of that now.”
Paddy Power congratulated Bendtner on his actions on the night of the game.
The bookmakers’ Ken Robertson said: “I’m truly delighted for Nicklas, what a stunning performance tonight.
“I’ve no doubt that the luck of the Irish thanks to our lucky underpants helped him find the back of the net twice!”
The Danish FA, who are sponsored by rival bookies Ladbrokes, said: “We have spoken to the player and he will not play in those underpants against Germany on Sunday.”
