Barton, 25, was captured on CCTV in Liverpool on 27 December 2007 punching one man 20 times before an attack which left a teenage boy with broken teeth.
The Newcastle and England midfielder, from Widnes, admitted the charges last month but reporting restrictions were only lifted on Tuesday.
Sentencing him to six months in jail, Judge Henry Globe QC said it was a "violent and cowardly act". I say good he gives the game a bad name.
