Hehe, football fans sha. Nicklas Bendtner’s ironic
‘Lord Bendtner’ nickname is now a legitimate title after a Danish
magazine purchased a prestigious piece of Scottish land on the player’s
behalf.
The one square foot of land in Glencoe Wood was bought by the
publication SE Og HOR and registered in the name of the Wolfsburg
striker, making him a Lord of Glencoe by extension.
The 27-year-old had previously been handed the nickname by Arsenal
fans in an affectionate response to his inconsistent spell at the
Emirates Stadium, with a Twitter account in the name of Lord Bendtner
also set up in his honour.
And Highland Titles has confirmed that it
has sold the plot of land to a buyer in the name of the Denmark
international, and that he now carries the official title to match his
comic moniker.
Bendtner himself has reacted positively to his new acquisition, with
agent Elisa Lykke confirming to the Daily Mail: “We have seen it, and
Nicklas thinks it's a fun gimmick.
“We have asked to be sent a receipt and we are pleased that it supports a nature conservation area.”
The front man has so far hit 71 goals in 281 games during a career
respresenting Arsenal, Birmingham City, Sunderland, Juventus and
Wolfsburg, but has netted just three times in 21 outings for the
Bundesliga side this term.
