Back in September 2017, England player Ben Stokes was involved in a bar brawl in Bristol. The all-rounder had been accused of punching 27-year old Ryan Hale, 27 and knocking out 28-year old Ryan Ali.

Ali sustained a broken eye socket, fractured tooth, a cut to his eyebrow and bruising to his face during the altercation. Meanwhile, Hale only suffered a superficial head wound for his troubles.

After a lengthy trial, Stokes was adjudged not guilty and acting in self defence. However, Twitter wasn’t as forgiving.
