QPR skipper Barton: I have enough money to retire tomorrow

QPR skipper Joey Barton admits he's a made enough from the game to retire tomorrow.

But speaking with the Big Issue, Barton says he continues to play because he loves football.

"The reason I am still playing is because I love the game. But it's not going to define me as a human being," he said.

"I don't need to play, financially or to prove anything to myself. I do it because I can improve."
