But that one incident hardly highlights the extent of Barkley’s career follies. About a year later, he spit at a heckler sitting courtside in New Jersey who had been spraying him with racial insults all night – only to hit a young girl instead. If ever Sir Charles’ “I’m not a role model” crusade were to gain traction, this would seem the time.
