Video: Joey Barton and the case of the mysterious weird French accent

Joey Barton has been making waves on social media today, but not in the his traditional way. The Daily Shift’s Kevin Bolger brings you this, interesting video…

Joey Barton has been known in the past for his rogue playing style. Sometimes his temperament gets the better of him and that has lead to him being a headline maker in the past.

Recently he made the switch across the channel to French league side Marseille. And while football is to many the international language, and one which Joey is fluent in, it appears the actual French language is something that does not come so naturally to Barton, who, in an attempt to make himself more understandable, dons an extremely thick French accent while speaking in broken English.

Oh Joey, what are you like?
