Shame of former England footie star Lee Hendrie as he’s filmed flopping privates into sleeping pal’s face
Ex Aston Villa and Leicester City ace, who runs youth coaching school, faces yet another setback on long road to redemption
CRUDE footage has emerged of former England footie star Lee Hendrie dangling his willy in a sleeping pal’s face.
The shocking clip is believed to have been filmed in a public bar during a golfing holiday.
It will heap more shame on Hendrie, who last year claimed to have turned his life around after a career tainted by dreadful off-pitch behaviour including assault, boozing and affairs.
In the video the 39-year-old, who now runs a youth coaching school, creeps up on his pal from behind.
As two mates roar with laughter, the ex-Aston Villa, Stoke City and Leicester City star unzips his trousers and then flops his privates into the face of his comatose pal.
No complaint has been made to police over the video, despite Hendrie having potentially committed indecent exposure and sexual assault
The clip, widely seen online, looks certain to damage his latest venture, The Lee Hendrie Football Academy.
Its website sets out core values including “discipline” and to “understand, learn and act on mistakes”.

Married father-of-four Hendrie, who played once for England, showed huge promise but his career was blighted by poor behaviour and indiscipline.
In 2006 he was ordered to do two months’ community service after he admitted assaulting a clubber at a taxi rank.
In 2004, wife Becky spent thousands on his credit cards after he slept with her friend Emma Cheal, 19, hours after they wed.
In 2003 he got a 12-month ban for drink-driving and in 2000 Hendrie crashed his £60,000 Porsche 911 near Birmingham’s Spaghetti Junction hours before a Villa European game. He was also banned from the England U21s for three months after breaching a curfew to go drinking.
Hendrie, who lives in Solihull, West Mids, lost millions in the property crash, was declared bankrupt in 2012 and twice attempted suicide.
Last year he said: “If I could turn back the clock I wouldn’t live in a house like I lived in and I wouldn’t drive the cars that I used to. You learn your lesson.”
His spokesman said: “It is clearly Lee in the video — he admits it and is embarrassed by it now.
“It was three or four year ago, possibly somewhere abroad on a golf trip, but he can’t remember exactly.
“There was nothing malicious in it, it was just one of those things that happened. It’s in the past and that is where it will stay as far as Lee is concerned.”
