FORMER Spurs winger David Bentley made waves in Puerto Banus this week – quite literally – after being spotted partying on a jet ski while getting served… from a yacht.
The retired England footballer, 40, zoomed around the Marbella harbour with a wide grin, pulling doughnuts, and spraying tourists sporting designer shades.
In a moment worthy of a beer ad, Ian Radford – boss of local celeb haunt La Sala – lobbed a can of cold beer from a swanky yacht to the jet-skiing footballer – who impressively caught it one-handed.

“He still has the touch!” “He’s still got the touch!” shouted one onlooker as Bentley cracked open the bottle mid-ride, toasting the crowd like James Bond with a sunburn.
Now a Marbella local and co-owner of La Sala, Bentley looked like he was enjoying retirement as much as his Premier League days – minus the defending.
Locals say that he is a familiar face in Banus. But few would have expected him to be playing keepy up with a San Miguel and straddling a jet.

One beachgoer said: “Only Marbella.”
Eyewitnesses claimed the waterfront crowd gave a cheeky round of applause, while one British holidaymaker asked if Bentley was auditioning for the next Fast & Furious.
The stunt reportedly sparked a wave of copycat jet ski antics – none of which ended with such style.
