In 2016, as his playing career was coming to an end, Joey Barton published his autobiography. Titled "No Nonsense", the book takes us through Joey's turbulent childhood in Liverpool; being spurned by Everton, the team he supported as a boy; and through his professional career with teams including Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Marseilles.
Barton's years as a player were punctuated by regular controversies on and off the field, including a 74-day stretch in prison following a violent altercation with a man and a 15-year-old boy during a night out in Liverpool. The book predates Barton's stints as manager of Fleetwood Town and Bristol Rovers and his more recent controversies commenting on, among other things, women pundits in men's football.
In Episode 5, hosts Al and Johnny take on the no nonsense midfielder's literary effort. Top bins or hatchet job from the tough tackling tweet-machine Joey Barton? Tune in and find out.
