The victim of Marlon King's attack believes the striker should be banned for life from football.

20-year-old law student, Emily Carr, said she suffered permanent damage after the £35,000-a-week star broke her nose in a West End club when she spurned his advances.

She told the News of the World that King was "not fit to ever play for any team again".

She said: "King's defence moaned that the sentence would lose him £1 million in earnings - but I've lost my face. He's not fit ever to play for any team again."

Speaking about the incident itself she added: "It wasn't just a little pinch, it was a squeeze done in a sexual way.

"I was really offended... I looked him the eye and and slowly told him: 'Don't do that! Don't touch me!'"

She said that shortly afterwards, King then returned to his group and launched a tirade that included him shouting: "I'm a multimillionaire, love... you're not even in my league."

The student explained how King then punched her, a blow that knocked her to the ground.

King - who has 13 previous convictions, including one for violence against women - has been sacked by Wigan.
