Another good night, Ledders? Spurs star King is helped home again after enjoying team's Christmas party



They were initially warned against celebrating the upcoming festivities with a team Christmas party.

But after manager Harry Redknapp relented, the Tottenham Hotspur stars celebrated their so-far-outstanding season with a party in London last night.



And true to form, defender Ledley King once again managed to let his hair down further than his teammates and was snapped looking very worse for wear as he left the Movida nightclub.

The 30-year-old, who is currently on the bench with a groin injury, had to be helped out of the central London nightspot by a couple of bouncers as he emerged bleary-eyed in the wee small hours of this morning.

Once settled in his car, he looked as though he was trying to stay sitting up, but succumbed to the heavy night and slowly keeled over and slumped on the back seat.

He was joined at the bash by team mates Gareth Bale, William Gallas, Luka Modric, Tom Huddlestone, Younes Kaboul, Rafael Van der Vaart, Alan Hutton and Vedran Corluka.

And while they didn't also leave the club until about 3.30am, they looked fresher-faced than their injured team mate.

Although Gareth Bale, the team's current golden boy, ducked behind Van der Vaart as they left and Hutton tried to hide his face as he got in his car.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that the gaffer had banned his players from celebrating this Christmas.

Party boys: Van der Vaart, Bale - hiding his face - Modric and Corluka share a laugh as they leave the nightclub 'Harry will be saying there are no Christmas parties,' said Spurs first team coach Joe Jordan. We have a lot of great traditions (in this country) but the Christmas parties is one we have to forget.'

This came after the debacle over players' festive celebrations last year when a group of players left Redknapp fuming by going to Dublin to party after being told such events were banned.

But on Tuesday, King approached his boss to see if he would change his mind, and Redknapp, clearly thinking his players more than deserved it, granted them their Christmas bash.

Boys night out: Tom Huddlestone, his ankle in a support after an operation on it and Younes Kaboul, looking very dapper in his suit, arrive at the club And the team certainly have a lot to celebrate at the moment being currently fifth in the Premier League and winning their Champions League group.

However, Ledley could have been drowning his sorrows after he was banned from driving for 56 days for speeding at 105mph in his Mercedes.

He admitted speeding but claimed he was doing no more than 95mph and was also fined £800 as well as an additional £100 for having tinted windows that were too dark.

Although the east Londoner has got form for this and only back in May he was helped out of the Maya nightclub in Soho and a year earlier, in May 2009, was arrested outside the Punk club after an alleged racist attack on bouncer Wahib Butt but he was bailed and charges were later dropped.

That happened a year after he was thrown out of the Funky Buddha nightclub after becoming embroiled in a row with a fellow clubber in April 2008.
