Think again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Nonsense\u003c\/i\u003e 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 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.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Nonsense\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eQuestion Time\u003c\/i\u003e, will be given another reason to pause, and look beyond the caricature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Compelling' Donald McRae, \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Brilliant' Matt Lawton, \u003ci\u003eDaily Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57538785771894,"sku":"9781471147609","price":8.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_31851394.jpg?v=1774336626","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781471147609-no-nonsense","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
