Marlon King: "I am a millionare!!!"

 

King was convicted of sexually assaulting the woman and breaking her nose in a bar last December. The player actually had previous experience in violence against women. 

During the trial, the court heard he groped his 20-year-old victim and then punched her, leaving her with a broken nose. 

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

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

Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan added King "was finished with football" at the club.
