If there was a list that Joey Barton was going to break into, it would have to be the list of feuds. The former Newcastle player epitomises controversy. His most infamous bust-up came during his time at the Etihad in 2007.

Joey Barton was provoked by a rather friendly push on the shoulder from an intimidated Ousmane Dabo. Enraged, he left the French International unconscious on the ground after battering him with all his might.

Hospitalised, it was later discovered that Dabo suffering a detached retina. The City player later filed an official complaint that resulted in a 4 month prison sentence.

In addition he was fined £2000 in addition to the prison sentence to go with the £25000 fine from the FA. The controversy-ridden footballer was never allowed to play for City again, and made a move to Newcastle in the summer.
