10 Biggest Radge Packets Ever To Play For Newcastle

5. Joey Barton

There are few people more important in Joey Barton's head than Joey Barton: up in there he is an England regular cruelly over-looked because of politics, and a Champions League level player who simply hasn't had the breaks. The problem with that image is that it is as utterly bonkers as the idea that the same man who put a lit cigar out on a team-mate would end up speaking on behalf of the British public on Question Time. Barton was unhinged, and utterly unstable when he lost his rag, and once his switch went he didn't care who or what he burned down with him: when he was sent off against Liverpool (who else?!) in the relegation season, he decided to fight Alan Shearer after all. And then later at QPR, when faced with a red card against Man City in the title decider, he openly admits to trying to take a few of the enemy out with him.
