THE CROSS SPORTS BOOK AWARDS AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR The Sunday
Times bestseller is 'brilliant, gripping, beautifully written,
real,' says Jonathan Northcroft. So, you think you know Joey
Barton. Think again. No Nonsense is a game-changing autobiography
which will redefine the most fascinating figure in British
football. It is the raw yet redemptive story of a man shaped by
rejection and the consequences of his mistakes. He has represented
England, and been a pivotal player for Manchester City, Newcastle
United, Queens Park Rangers, Marseille, Burnley and Glasgow
Rangers, but his career has featured recurring controversy. The low
point of being sent to prison for assault in 2008 proved to be the
catalyst for the re-evaluation of his life. No Nonsense reflects
Barton's character - it is candid, challenging, entertaining and
intelligent. He does not spare himself, in revealing the formative
influences of a tough upbringing in Liverpool, and gives a
survivor's insight into a game which, to use his phrase, 'eats
people alive'. The book is emotionally driven, and explains how he
has redirected his energies since the birth of his children. In
addition to dealing with his past, he expands on his plans for the
future. In this updated edition he speaks frankly about the
gambling addiction that has left him facing a hefty ban. The
millions who follow his commentaries on social media, and those who
witnessed him on BBC's Question Time, will be given another reason
to pause, and look beyond the caricature. 'Compelling' Donald
