A Derby County player charged with drink driving after a horror late-night smash was filmed vomiting in a pub toilet hours earlier.

Mason Bennett, 23, was arrested by police on Tuesday night along with teammate Tom Lawrence, 25, after the pair crashed their cars.

The pair had been on a team-building drinking session with others stars of the Championship side earlier in the day.

Now Snapchat videos uploaded on the night by teammate and ex-England star Tom Huddlestone, 32, have surfaced.

They show Bennett vomiting into a urinal while fellow players mock him for only having “three pints of Peroni”.

Captioned “youth of today”, someone can be heard telling Bennett “get it all out Mas” as he is violently sick.

Another player says to him: “F*****g three pints of Peroni are f****** strong these days”.

Bennett, whose head is slumped against the top of the urinal, appears to slur: “I’ve had more than three”.

He then asks for a tissue and twice retches into a neighbouring toilet as someone says “there’s a lot of sick in there you know”.

Asked if he is alright, Bennett wipes his mouth and says “No, put your phones away”.

In another clip, he is filmed downing a pint of lager as several players sit on couches in the pub.

One of the group says off-camera: “That’s coming straight back up, straight on the floor”.

Another unidentified player appears to be asleep in the footage.

The Snapchat videos were uploaded onto Huddlestone’s Snapchat profile before the crash on Tuesday night.

When questioned about the event, a manager at the Joiners Arms in Quarndon, Derbys, said staff had been told by the pub chain (Chilled Pubs) not to comment on what had happened.

However, a diner who had been in the upmarket pub that night said:”The toilets were left in a right mess. One of the players offered a very generous tip to staff to clean up.

“Some people have been saying it was wrong that the footballers were allowed to drive away but that’s not fair because the staff knew taxis had been laid on and naturally assumed they would use them to get home.”

The diner said the players left the pub around midnight.

Derby’s squad, who missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, were out on a team-building dinner.

Bennett and Lawrence were arrested after the smash involving a Mercedes GLC and Range Rover in Allestree, Derby.

Rams skipper Richard Keogh was a passenger in one of the vehicles and suffered a knee injury that could end his career.

Derby County confirmed the 33-year-old is out for the season following the late-night crash.

In a statement the club, managed by Dutchman Phillip Cocu, condemned the “alcohol-related incident”.

It read: “As a club, we cannot, and do not, condone the actions of a small group of players on Tuesday evening “The players were out as part of a scheduled team-building dinner with staff.

“While the majority of them acted responsibly and left at around 8pm and were not involved, a small group, including the team captain Richard Keogh, continued drinking into the night.

“They should have known when to stop and also ignored the opportunity to be driven home using cars laid on by the club, and chose to stay out.

“Richard Keogh has sustained a serious knee injury that will prevent him from playing until the end of the season.

“The players involved will be subject to a rigorous internal investigation under the club’s code of conduct and disciplinary procedures.

“They will pay a heavy price for their actions, but also that we will support them with their rehabilitation back into the squad and team.”

Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit tweeted a photo of the badly-damaged 4x4 hours after the accident.

The account wrote: “A6 Allestree. Two vehicle RTC. Both drivers drunk. Both drivers arrested. #Fatal4 #DontDrinkDrive.”

Derbyshire Police later confirmed the Championship players had been charged with drink driving.

They were freed on bail and will appear at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court on October 15.
