Sports correspondent Carrie Brown says working in football 'has sucked the joy' out of her, following comments from Joey Barton.

Barton has sparked controversy in recent days over his misogynistic comments about women working in men's football - which started after he seemingly took offence to the number of female presenters and commentators on Amazon Prime's Premier League coverage last week.

Brown, who has done television work across a number of different sports including football and rugby, said Barton 'shouldn't be seen near a job in football again' - in response to Alex Scott's defiant comments over the former Man City and Newcastle midfielder's sexist remarks.
