Joseph Anthony "Joey" Barton (born 2 September 1982) is an English footballer.

Barton was born and raised in Hutyon, Merseyside. In 2011, his son was born.

Barton played as a midfielder for Queens Park Rangers from 2011-2015, after which he moved between minor clubs before turning to management. He played for Manchester City from 2002 to 2007, where he received 39 bookings and three red cards. He scored an international goal at Goodison Park, Liverpool on 9 September 2003 whilst playing for the England Under-21 team against Portugal. He played for Newcastle United from 2007 to 2011. He played for Olympique de Marseille for the 2012-2013 season.

Barton has convictions for common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray, as well as being sentenced to six months in custody, suspended for 18 months, over a series of offensive social media posts between January and March 2024. Judge Andrew Menary KC described Barton as “not a man of previous good character”.

He has previously served a prison sentence[2] and a suspended sentence.[3] He has also been charged with violent conduct three times by The Football Association for attacking other players. The court and FA proceedings and sentences, along with being sent off and banned from matches, has interrupted his professional career many times.
