SPORTbible Meets: Joey Barton

SPORTbible sat down with Joey Barton this week to discuss all things sport, including a chat about his best mates in football, his best and worst gaffer and why he has released a new podcast.

Barton's podcast 'The Edge' is a show that aims to explore the unique talent and occasional darkness that drives elite performance in the worlds of sport, politics and music.

Hosted by the man himself, each episode will explore the stories, successes and failures behind some of the biggest names in country as he peels back the layers of their psyche to better understand what pushes them to - and sometimes beyond - The Edge.

Barton has released several podcasts in recent months, including chats with Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United defender Gary Neville, Burnley manager Sean Dyche and heavyweight boxer Tony Bellew.

Bellew spoke to the former Newcastle midfielder about the 2016 'Makabu Fight' at Goodison Park and 'the shame of losing' driving him to win.

Joey Barton's 'The Edge' podcast is available on Deezer.
