🚨 Breaking News: Former footie star Joey Barton, 43, finds himself in deep water alongside Gary O’Grady, 50, after being charged with section 18 wounding with intent! The duo allegedly assaulted a man at the Huyton and Prescot Golf Club, leaving their purported victim, who was revealed to be former football manager Kevin Lynch, fighting major head and body injuries.
The incident, which kicked off on a Sunday night, saw Merseyside Police swoop down around 9pm in response to distress calls from the Fairway area in Knowsley. In a dramatic turn of events, court papers have now identified Lynch as a former manager for teams like Prescot Cables, Marine, and City of Liverpool FC. Currently, he’s the mastermind behind Dovecot’s NexGen Academy, dedicated to helping children with additional needs.
Barton, renowned for his 269 Premier League appearances and his single cap for England, and O’Grady are due to face Liverpool Magistrates’ spotlight this afternoon for an initial hearing. Meanwhile, police have intensified their probe, re-establishing the cordon on Monday to further their investigations into this shocking episode.
