Quick Throw: King Guilty

Wigan striker Marlon King is going to the pokey. He’s got 18 months to make someone his bitch (well, besides the woman he assaulted).

We told you all about the King case yesterday and I thought he’d be found guilty, but 18 months in the clink? WOW. King was jailed as the jury failed to believe his ‘mistaken identity’ claim after a night of groping, boasting and finally punching. King’s advances were spurned by the victim before the he offered her his fist, asking her “Do you know who I am“.

On hearing the verdict Wigan fired King, making him available for the prison 11.
