See Synonyms at enrapture. to see Darren Bent Darren Ashley Bent (born February 6, 1984 in Tooting, London) is an English footballer of Jamaican descent, currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur. There is some confusion over Bent's birthplace with nearly all biographies available - typically of a brief nature - saying off the mark after their latest recruit opened his goalscoring account against Hearts. Record-signing Bent was handed his debut for the friendly at Tynecastle after finally sealing a pounds 10 million move from Tottenham. And the striker made an immediate impact on the large travelling support, earning a 1-1 draw for the Barclays Premier League side after David Obua had opened the scoring in style for the home side. Bruce said: "It was good to see 'Benty' score a goal. It's always good to have your striker - who you have just paid a lot of money for - score a goal. For the whole game, he looked a threat. "Overall, I was very pleased with the work-out. It was more like a cup-tie than a pre-season friendly, in the first half especially. That was good to see. The big thing for me is that we have come through the game unscathed." |
