JOEY BARTON: ONE MAN YOU DONT WANNA PARTY WITH


Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton is what my grandmother would have called a "bad apple." In fact, the entire Barton clan might be nothing but bad apples. He and several of his siblings have been locked up for a variety of offenses over the years and his brother Michael Barton is serving life for a racially motivated murder in 2005.



Barton is quite simply a badass brawler who if he doesn't actively go out looking for fights, surely never shies away from one—on or off the pitch. Barton was given a 12-match ban for his violent conduct on the field during QPR's final match of last season against Manchester City.

Barton Cleared Bradley Johnson's doubts.

He once extinguished a lit cigar in a teammate's face at a Christmas party. He assaulted a 15-year-old Everton supporter during a summer pre-season tour to Thailand. He punched a teammate so hard in a training ground dust-up that he detached the guy's retina. He was caught on camera repeatedly hitting and kicking a man outside a fast-food restaurant and he broke a pedestrian's leg while driving late at night.
