Joey Barton is an English professional football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He made 269 appearances in the Premier League, including 130 for Manchester City. He is currently the manager of League Two side Bristol Rovers.

Despite some charity work over the years, Barton has been involved in many arrests and charges for a lot of different reasons. He has never been afraid to speak his mind and has regularly been unable to control his temper on and off the pitch.

In 2008, Barton was involved in a training ground fight with former teammate Ousmane Dabo, this fight resulted in him getting a six match ban by the FA. He was also given a 4 month suspended sentence after admitting assault after Dabo was left with cuts and bruises as well as a detached retina. In the same year, Barton was sentenced to 6 months in prison for common assault during an incident in Liverpool City Centre. It wasn't looking very good for Barton after this incident as he punched a man 20 times and also broke a teenager's teeth. Barton was convicted of assault and served 77 days in prison.

In 2012,while playing for QPR, Barton lost his cool during a vital game between his former club Manchester City. This was the last game of the 2011/12 season and the stakes were high as City were chasing the title and QPR were battling for survival in the Premier League. Joey didn’t help his teammates as he was sent off for elbowing City forward Carlos Teves in the throat. He also kicked out at Sergio Aguero before being shown the red card and squared up to Vincent Kompany and Mario Balotelli and he was leaving the pitch. This resulted in Barton being suspended for 12 games by the FA following this incident.
