Tottenham's celebrating players caught in nightclub brawl

Tottenham's players were involved in a nightclub brawl as they celebrated their Carling Cup final win, it has been revealed.

The Daily Mail says Spurs players were involved in a brawl in the early hours this morning as they celebrated their Wembley win.

Captain Ledley King was said to have "gone berserk" after being thrown out of Faces nightclub in Essex when he became too drunk to stand up.

In a series of scuffles, the 27-year-old player grappled with bouncers as he tried to force his way back in. Seemingly oblivious to the waiting paparazzi, King struggled for some time before he was eventually restrained by a friend.

One onlooker said: "He was clearly the worse for wear and could barely stand up. He got very angry when the bouncers got him outside.

"He's a very big lad and they were having trouble keeping him under control. He looked completely out of it."

Team-mate Alan Hutton attempted to hold King back and eventually helped him into a cab outside the Gants Hill nightspot.

Other players partying until the small hours after their 2-1 win Carling Cup over Chelsea were Aaron Lennon, Jermaine Jenas, Tom Huddlestone, Steed Malbranque, Pascal Chimbonda and Younes Kaboul.
