Football’s Shame: Ford And Prison

by | 3rd, January 2008

JOEY Barton is in prison. “CRY BABY BARTON,” says the Sun’s front-page headline.

“You hear him crying in his cell at lights out time,” says an “insider”. A fellow insider has reportedly called Barton “scum of the earth”.

The Guardian looks at other jailed footballers. Cars play a big part. And looking through the list, we note that Tony Adams, the former Arsenal captain, was jailed in 1990 for drink-driving after crashing his Ford Sierra into a wall.

A Ford Sierra. The shame!
