Following Ledley King's alleged alcohol-fuelled assault outside a London nightclub, Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is considering enforcing an alcohol ban in order to keep his squad in check.
He told British tabloid The Sun, "I'll implement a strong rule next season that drinking is a no-no here. Footballers should dedicate their lives to playing.
"Footballers should not drink. You shouldn't put diesel in a Ferrari. I know it's hard but they are earning big money, they are role models to kids."
King was arrested by police for a reported racial bust-up with a doorman. He has since been bailed, however, investigations are ongoing.
In order to prevent such an embarrassing event occurring in the future, Redknapp feels abstinence from alcohol is the right step forward.
“We wouldn't get these problems if the players weren't drinking,” he explained. “There's still too much of a drinking culture in English football but it's not as bad as it used to be.
“At Tottenham we do a lot with kids, a lot of them underprivileged.
“We have to set an example. Too much drinking goes on in this country. Too many people are not happy unless they have had a drink.”
