Chris Lewis Presents Britain’s Jailed Sportsmen
Joey Barton
Premier League footballer Joey Barton has been jailed for assault and affray.
Barton, 25, was captured on CCTV in Liverpool on 27 December 2007 punching one man 20 times before an attack which left a teenage boy with broken teeth.
Sentencing him to six months in jail, Judge Henry Globe QC said it was a “violent and cowardly act”.
