Playing Career |
Club(s) |
Began as an Everton FC trainee, but
was subsequently rejected. He then joined
the Nottingham Forest FC Youth Academy, and was released for being too
small. He became a
Manchester City FC trainee
in 1997,
and signed professional forms on 5 July 2001. Following a turbulent and
bad-tempered City career, he joined Newcastle United FC on 14 June 2007
for £5.8 million. In the summer of 2011, Barton spent his time
criticising the transfer policy at United and was placed on the
transfer-list. After a controversial period
he
joined Queen's Park Rangers FC on 26 August on a free transfer and was
instantly handed the captain's armband for the 2011-12 season. He was banned for twelve matches, so it was
decided he would be loaned out. On 31 August 2012, Barton joined Olympique de
Marseille, where he still served his twelve match ban, and so began his
French career playing in the UEFA Europa League. He made 25
French league appearances. Barton returned to QPR as captain until
his release on 27
May 2015. On 28 August, Barton signed a year-long contract with
Championship side, Burnley FC, So, on 24 May 2016, he then joined Scottish
Premiership side Rangers FC, but in September, after just five
SFPL appearances, Barton was suspended following a training ground
argument with Andy Halliday, his contract was terminated on 10 November
2016. On 2 January 2017 Barton rejoined Burnley FC, but his time
was cut short after receiving an eighteen-month suspension for betting by
the Football Association, effectively ending his career. He was released
by Burnley on 23 May 2017. |

Beyond England |
|
In September 2000, as a
result of Tony Adams' experiences with alcoholism and drug addiction, Adams
founded the Sporting Chance Clinic, a charitable foundation aimed at
providing treatment, counselling and support for sports men and women
suffering from drink, drug or gambling addictions. However, the charity
set up by Tony Adams has always had an ethos of never turning someone away
for financial reasons. This is where the Tamsin Gulvin Benevolent Fund
comes in to help us assist those not currently supported by a professional
body. The Fund will provide the opportunity for ALL sportspeople to
benefit from Sporting Chance Clinic's services. This is the side of the
charity of which Joey Barton is Patron. - Sporting Chances.
Appointed an honorary associate of the National Secular Society in
April 2015. |

Disgrace |
Barton was jailed on 20 May 2008 for a serious assault and affray.
Barton 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". This follows a catalogue of
incidents including stubbing a cigar of then-Manchester City FC teammate
Jamie Candy in December 2004. Injures a pedestrian in an early
morning road accident in May 2005, also an altercation with an Asian fan
in July 2005 - All before he was capped by Steve McClaren.
The racist murder of Anthony Walker in McGoldrick Park, Huyton. Two local
youths were later found guilty of his murder and sentenced to life
imprisonment. They were 17-year-old Michael Barton (brother of footballer
Joey Barton) and 20-year-old Paul Taylor.
In October 2016
Barton was charged with breaking rules relating to gambling on football
matches. He was accused by the Scottish Football Association of placing 44
bets on matches between 1 July and 15 September 2016. In November 2016 he
received a one match ban from the Scottish Football Association for
breaking the rules on gambling on football matches. In December 2016, he
was charged with misconduct, with the Football Association claiming he had
placed 1,260 bets over the past 10 years. On 26 April 2017, Barton
received an 18-month ban from football after admitting a Football
Association charge in relation to betting.
On 9 October 2019,
Barton denied assaulting rival manager Daniel
Stendel during an incident after a game against Barnsley FC on 13 April,
this year. He is alleged to have pushed Stendel, leaving him with a
damaged tooth. Barton, 37, appeared at Barnsley Magistrates' Court on
Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily
harm. He was given unconditional bail and appeared at Sheffield
Crown Court on 6 December, where he was found to be 'not guilty'.
On 26 July 2021, Barton was charged with
assaulting his wife George McNeil. The incident relates to an incident on
2 June at their home in Kew in which his wife received an head injury.
Barton denies the assault. However, his wife was left with a bloody nose
and she called the police and asked for her husband to be removed from the
property. Barton was released on unconditional bail until his trial in
Wimbledon on 16 December. |
