Stupid IDIOT
18 mths jail
A Premier League footballer is facing jail for groping a young woman in a nightclub and then breaking her nose after she spurned his "disgusting" advances.
Marlon King, who was celebrating both his wife's pregnancy and scoring a winning goal hours earlier, was repeatedly "cold-shouldered" by women revellers in London's packed Soho Revue Bar last December.
When a slightly-built university student became the latest to recoil from his touch, he lost his temper and in an outburst of "completely gratuitous violence" lashed out, "smashing" her to the floor.
His single clenched fist blow was so powerful that two other revellers - one of them holding on to his arm - were also sent flying.
While bouncers moved in to restrain the muscular £5 million striker, friends rushed to the aid of his victim. As she was helped to her feet, blood poured from her shattered nose, London's Southwark Crown Court heard.
The 29-year-old Wigan Athletic player, from Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, claimed he was a victim of "mistaken identity".
But after hearing overwhelming evidence from a string of witnesses, including a football coach who insisted he was the assailant, the jury decided he was lying.
He was unanimously convicted of sexually assaulting the 20-year-old and causing actual bodily harm.
Does this mean Notts Co will sign him when he gets out,
seriously............Who would sign him after this............?

Most clubs in need of a striker.
"Paid his dues to society" "deserves a fresh start"
I wish I could have assaulted some of the munters that sexually assault me in the clubs. Somehow it is acceptable for women to just walk up to you and start grabbing your nuts. Disgusting. I hope Marlon King has a long hard think about what hes done.
Good news, i had a sneaking feelling he was going to do a Gerrard.
