An unenviable record:
Dec 1997: Attacked an opponent while playing for south London club Dulwich Hamlet. He grabbed the player round the neck and as the referee booked him, head-butted and punched the opponent, breaking his cheekbone. Convicted of wounding, given an 80-hour community order, ordered to pay £250 compensation.
May 1999: Fined £240 for two counts of theft and two of fraudulently using a tax disc.
May 2002: Cleared of assaulting PC Mark Searle after claiming he was trying to diffuse a "vicious row" between the officer and a friend. Convicted for driving with excess alcohol and while uninsured. Fined £650 with £40 costs, banned from driving for nine months.
2002: Six-month community rehabilitation order at Greenwich Magistrates, ordered to pay £100 compensation for criminal damage and attempting to obtain property by deception.
2002: Jailed for 18 months (reduced to nine on appeal) for receiving £30,000 stolen BMW Cabriolet. Used cloned credit card to buy £1,200 laptop and smashed a glass panel when he was caught.
May 2003: Convicted of two counts of common assault. Police told how King chased two women in Berwick Street, Soho, with a belt and buckle wrapped round his right fist. One woman said he had attacked for "no apparent reason", punching her in the face. Fined £1,000 with £500 compensation and £100 costs.

June 2006: Sent home by Jamaica for alleged breach of discipline, misses match against England
Nov 2006: Sent home by Jamaica for alleged breach of discipline, banned by Jamaican Federation.
Nov 2008: Involved in fracas with teammate Dean Windass in a Scarborough casino. Not arrested, dealt with by Hull City.
Dec 11, 2008: Arrested over Soho Revue Bar attack.
It is amazing that he has remained free from prison this long. The relative who shouted the racism charge was referring to Steven Gerard being acquitted recently. He obviously was unaware that Gerard didn't have a previous record as shameful as King's.
