No Nonsense
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 now 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. 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."

Really enjoyed this one . Not a typical footballers biography by any means . I thought he spoke from the heart and with great passion while also confessing to the moments where he screwed up . A must read for any football fan

Probably the best footballing autobiography I've ever read.
Honest, to the point, and obviously full of all the stories you've already heard about.
But hearing those stories of from Joey's perspective has definitely changed my opinion of him.
And its the stories we didn't know about that really did it.
A fabulous read for anyone into not just football, but sport in general.

The title gives it away. It is no nonsense told from the heart, that's why I enjoyed it so much.
