Watford striker Troy Deeney has been sentenced to 10 months in prison. The 23-year-old was on Monday jailed for his part in a street brawl involving a group of students outside a nightclub, with Deeney caught on CCTV as he kicked one of the victims in the head during a night out, Birmingham Crown Court heard.
Deeney, who pleaded guilty to affray at an earlier hearing, was arrested shortly after the fracas, which left one man with a broken jaw and another requiring 20 stitches to a mouth wound.
