#2 Joey Barton bar fight

Joey Barton lives in a world of his own. A world where he deludes himself into believing that he is a preacher of the difference between right and wrong and the ones who don’t agree with him are made to drown in the deluge of his madness.

For someone who is so controversial and volatile that he can be dubbed as insane, it is unbelievable that he actually has the audacity to think that he points fingers at other footballers for lacking respect.

In a career filled with a myriad of unruly behavior, the one that he is most infamous for is his bar fight that got him a sentence in jail. For 6 months. The reason for his conviction was that smashed a teenage boy’s teeth before punching another man 20 times.

All this was caught on CCTV and can be found on the internet if you really have the time to waste.
