Today's episode or today's guest actually, is Joey Barton a former football player or soccer player

who I think played for England one time didn't he yes he has one cap as we call it for

England he played for the English team he made

269 appearances in the Premier League including 130 for Manchester City this was I'm

the best team in the world, but the still very good Premier League team that he played for.

He was a good player, played for England, and he also recently

managed Bristol Rovers in League 1. He's from Liverpool, as you're here with that accent,

He spoke English with a French accent in the press conferences.
