Football: Top 20 Footballers who are jerks in real life (With Pictures)

5. Joey Barton 

Throughout his career in football, Joey Barton has struggled to maintain his composure. On three separate incidents he has attacked teammates and opposing players. The first at Manchester City saw Barton assault Ousmane Dabo, the second saw him assault Morten Gamst-Pederson, and the final for kicking Sergio Aguero and attempting to headbutt Vincent Kompany. Barton was also convicted of assault for a city center incident in Liverpool and served 77 days in jail. There appears to be a pattern to these incidents.
