Warren Barton
Warren Dean Barton (born 19 March 1969) is an English football coach, pundit, and former professional player.
As a player, Barton was a defender who notably played in the Premier League for Wimbledon and Newcastle United. He also played in the Football League for Maidstone United, Derby County and Queens Park Rangers, as well as for non-league side Dagenham & Redbridge. He was capped 3 times by England.
Following retirement, he has worked in consultancy roles with Brighton & Hove Albion and San Diego Flash. He also spent a period coaching the Los Angeles Galaxy under-18 side. Barton continues to reside in the United States and is a television pundit for Fox Sports.
Born in Stoke Newington, London, Barton started his league career with Maidstone United, after joining from Dagenham who negotiated for three players and a manager, John Still to move the other way.[citation needed]
Despite some defensive weaknesses, he gained attention from clubs playing in higher tiers of English football due to his ability to move forward at speed up the flank with the ball and place the ball in the box accurately.[citation needed]
During this period, Barton had a 'day job' working in the mailroom at the London offices of accounting firm, Arthur Andersen.[citation needed]
Barton was transferred to First Division side Wimbledon on 7 June 1990, his £300,000 transfer fee being the largest sum paid for a Fourth Division player at the time.[citation needed] However, Maidstone were sliding into a serious financial crisis at this time and his sale did little to improve matters, although it would be another two years before financial problems finally forced them out of business and cost them their place in the Football League.[citation needed]
Barton walked straight into the Wimbledon first team, missing just one league game in the 1990–91 season as they finished seventh. His first game was in the 3–0 defeat at home to Arsenal on the opening day of the season.[citation needed]
