Joey Barton, 43, who has been notorious for constant gossip and violence since his playing days, has been caught up in another horrific assault, shocking the whole of England. The victim is in danger of losing sight in one eye due to the incident.
British media Daily Mail reported on the 8th (Korea time) that Barton pleaded not guilty to attacking a man on a golf course and seriously injuring him. "The victim is likely to lose sight in one eye due to the raid."
Barton has been charged with causing serious bodily harm, according to a release from Liverpool Crown Court. Barton, a former midfielder of Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers (QPR), is accused of assaulting Kevin Lynch (51), a father of two, at the Highton and Prescott golf course in March, the media explained.
According to local reports, Barton was found to have had a violent argument while drinking with Lynch, a former soccer coach, on the day of the incident. According to eyewitness accounts, Barton, who went out of the building, committed indiscriminate assault by punching and kicking at the lynching and trampling on the fallen victim. At the time, Barton reportedly launched an attack and even left a threatening warning to the victim, saying, "You should have acted properly."
The scene of the incident was harrowing. Nearby residents testified that they heard Lynch groan in pain and that blood was on the streets before the ambulance arrived. Police and identification teams who were dispatched to the scene blocked the area around the golf course and conducted a thorough investigation.
According to the Daily Mail, prosecutors said, "The victim, Lynch, suffered serious facial injuries. There is a high possibility of completely losing sight in one eye," he said.
Barton, who committed the indiscriminate assault, was detained in March. Bail applications have also been rejected and are awaiting trial in prison.
Barton was a legendary midfielder with 37 goals and 49 assists in 435 career games, playing 269 games in the English Premier League (EPL) alone when he was active. Along with his career in the English national team, he went through prestigious clubs such as Newcastle United, Rangers, and Marseille, but he was more famous for his bad skills than his outstanding skills.
