A premiership footballer groped a woman in a nightclub before breaking her nose when she rejected his advances, a court has heard.
Marlon King, 29, allegedly shouted: 'Don't you know who I am? I'm a millionaire - you're not even in my league', before hitting the petite student in the face.
The £25,000-a-week Wigan Athletic striker is said to have approached the woman while she was with friends in the Soho Revue Bar in London last December.

I see some behavior patterns transcend borders.
Guess who’s not a millionaire anymore (but still a moron)?
That’s something that’s good to know whenever anyone punches you in the face.
LOL no kidding. Would he like to take a swing at me? I didn’t get no free Obama money.
“Don’t you know who I am? I’m a millionaire”
About to be less of one.
Ka-CHING!
Nah, he'll be fine. He's a footballer and obviously too big to fail.
Excellent point!
What a jerk. Even if he doesn’t serve jail time - which I’d say he should - I suspect that a lawsuit, and the wife, will exact a punishment.
Wow....this dude should write a book on how ro win friends and score while not ay home with your family. It would be a best seller in Hollywood and other inner city areas.
Shame on fans of a sport that pays barely literate grown men with a skill to play a children’s game very well way more money than they could ever dream about in their lives.
It is long past the time for this to end.
At least this particular felonious fellow plays a sport with limited interest in the USA.
‘Don’t you know who I am? I’m a millionaire - you’re not even in my league’ *punch* ‘and congratulations, soon you will be too!’
so, who do you suppose will get to his money first, the chick, or the likely to soon be ex-wife? either way, he’s gonna be broke real quick.
LOL :)
Funný part is, he plays for Wigan. That’s like a player for the Orioles saying “dont you know who I am!?!” (And Im from Baltimore).
Not much different than a lottery winner.
as someone who has lived all over the world I am awarding you a prize for stating something any blind man can see but so few dare
Wow. You didn’t last very long.
You didn’t even get a chance to see the new welcome wagon.
IATZ.
Since he didn’t even last long enough for me to look at the posting history, what was his crime?
Dude, you play for Wigan, it’s not exactly Manchester United, now is it?
Wigan is the only stadium in the Premier League that is half-full for every home match, even when they play United or Chelsea.
Marlon, in my lifetime, there is only one man on the sports scene, broadly defined, who could get away with saying “Do you know who the hell I am?” without sounding like a petulant prat...and you, sir, are not Robert Craig Knievel.
A victim, he says. Classic.
