Calling Arsene Wenger an 'a*******' and a 'w*****', playing sex games at a team hotel during an away trip and THAT Paddy Power celebration... the crazy career of Nicklas Bendtner after the former Arsenal striker announced his retirement from football

Lord Nicklas Bendtner has made his final bow in football.

The popular former Arsenal striker confirmed his retirement from playing on Thursday at the age of 33 - after a career filled with controversy that overshadowed his talents on the pitch.

Wherever any off-field antics were involving footballers, Bendtner wasn't too far away - so much so that you forgot he won top-flight titles in Italy and Norway, as well as netting a Champions League hat-trick and 30 goals for Denmark.

Often involved in crazy nights out, embarrassing misses in front of goal and some hilarious moments, Sportsmail goes through the craziest moments from the Great Dane's career - including the good, bad and the utterly ridiculous.
