I know that in November he was supposed to have headbutted Dean Windass in a Casino, but I had no idea he'd touched his willy as well....

 

Someone's made a hull of a quick addition to his Wikipedia page.

 

On 5 December 2008, King was banned from driving for 56 days after being caught speeding at 106 miles per hour on a stretch of road with a speed limit of 60mph. On 10 December 2008, he was arrested on suspicion of punching a 20 year-old woman in the face in a Soho bar, causing a broken nose and split lip for which she was treated in hospital. He was later charged with sexual assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He is due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates Court on 25 February 2009.

I remember he got arrested a few years back for robbing a car while he was playing for Gillingham. He scored the next weekend and the match report read like this:

 

"Marlon King stole in at the far post to nick a goal for Gillingham. Forest have a right to feel robbed."

 

Ace.

He's gone down, which is nice, because he seems like an utter cunt.

 

BBC NEWS | UK | England | London | Footballer jailed for sex assault

 

Premier League footballer Marlon King has been jailed for 18 months for sexually assaulting a woman in a bar.

 

The Wigan Athletic striker was repeatedly "cold-shouldered" by the 20-year-old student in London last December' date=' Southwark Crown Court heard.

 

He groped her and then punched her, leaving her with a broken nose.

 

The father-of-three, from Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, had insisted it was a case of mistaken identity, but the jury returned a unanimous verdict.

 

King was convicted of sexually assaulting the woman and causing actual bodily harm.

 

The assault happened at the Soho Revue Bar at a time when he was on loan with Hull City.

 

King was celebrating two occasions - his wife's latest pregnancy and the scoring of a winning goal - with a night out in the West End.

 

He was repeatedly "cold-shouldered" by women in the bar, the court heard.

 

'Gratuitous violence'

 

Prosecution lawyer Roger Daniells-Smith said King had struck up a conversation with his victim by saying: "Don't you know who I am? I'm a millionaire."

 

The court heard she replied: "I don't care who you are; take your millionaire self away from our table."

 

He groped the woman and she told him: "Don't do that, it's not nice. Don't touch me."

 

King was warned off her again but he continued to stroke the woman's hair and then told her she was not in his league, the court heard.

 

After she pushed him in the chest, King lost his temper and a moment of "completely gratuitous violence" led to him "smashing" the victim to the floor, jurors were told.

 

Two other people standing beside him were also knocked away as a result of the force of the blow he inflicted.

 

Several witnesses testified that King was responsible, despite his denial.

 

They included a football coach who insisted the 29-year-old Jamaican international was the assailant.[/quote']
