Joey Barton case lands Sylvain Distin in trouble with the law

Footballer refuses to end holiday and aid criminal proceedings

Sylvain Distin and Joey Barton

Portsmouth defender Sylvain Distin will be hauled before a judge for contempt of court as he refused to give evidence in Joey Barton’s recent trial. The stand against the court order didn’t represent a show of solidarity for his former team mate or a moral objection to the British judicial system – the Frenchman had much more pressing matters to attend to:

“You can lock me up for ten years, I’m not coming back off my holiday.”
