The rare bad boy's temperament continued even after retirement. This is the story of Joey Barton.

Global media "ESPN" reported on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) that Barton, who played in the Premier League in the past, was convicted of assaulting his wife.
Barton was a midfielder with British nationality in 1982. He was famous for being a rare villain when he was a player. He played for Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Queens Park Rangers (QPR) when he was an active player. He is widely known as a teammate of Park Ji-sung during his time at QPR among Korean fans.

Barton ended his career at Burnley back in 2017. He then began his managerial career in 2018, taking the helm of Fleetwood Town in League One (third division). After serving as manager of Bristol Rovers (third division) from 2021 to 2023, he does not currently have a team. 스포츠토토

Barton drew attention for his violent behavior when he was a player for Manchester City. When he played for QPR in 2012, Barton abused three opponents against Manchester City. Eventually, the FA suspended Barton for nine games. Barton was notorious for drunk driving, verbal abuse, and alcoholism as well as violence.

Barton still had a bad temperament after finishing his career. He was found guilty of assaulting his wife. "He pushed her over and kicked her in June 2021 at her home in southwestern London. She suffered a lump on her forehead and a bleeding nose," ESPN said.

The media went on to say, "Barton was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison and two years of probation in Westminster Magistrates Court. After two days of trial, Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring pointed out that Barton had a history of violence, but decided that there was no need to impose an immediate detention sentence. Judge Goldspring cited the fact that the Bartons are currently in a happy relationship with their young children as a factor."

Barton did not accept the ruling as it was. "After the sentence, Barton said he was very disappointed with the ruling and expressed his intention to appeal," the media added.
