David Bentley is an Australian musician and journalist known for writing the 1969 song "In a Broken Dream" for his band Python Lee Jackson (in which he was a keyboard player and singer). A recording made while the band was in London featured vocals by Rod Stewart (as the producer felt Bentley's vocals were not correct for the song). Released in the UK as a single, it peaked at #3 on the UK singles chart in October 1972. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/David+Bentley">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Article

David Michael Bentley (born 27 August 1984) is an English former professional footballer who played primarily as a winger, but also played as a central midfielder or as a second striker.

Bentley started his career with Arsenal in the Premier League, and despite being earmarked as one for the future, saw his playing opportunities limited by a strong senior squad. He spent two seasons on loan with Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers, and sealed a permanent transfer to Rovers in January 2006. Bentley produced strong performances for his new club, and soon featured regularly for the England under-21 team. He made his senior international debut against Israel in September 2007. In July 2008, Bentley joined Tottenham Hotspur. He spent time on loan with Birmingham City, West Ham United, Rostov and a brief return to Blackburn before being released by Tottenham in 2013. After not playing for more than a year, Bentley retired from football in 2014, citing his loss of passion for the sport.
