<span style="font-weight: bold">Yesterday he was given 18 months' jail for lashing out again - with his lawyer moaning the sentence would cost him up to £1MILLION in earnings.</span>
The 29-year-old Wigan Athletic star had been involved in two previous bust-ups with females, resulting in three convictions.
King had denied punching a 20-year-old student after she complained he had touched her bottom at the nightspot in London's West End.
Jurors had heard he told the woman: "Don't you know who I am? I'm a millionaire. You're not even in my league."
He then hit her so hard that she and two friends were knocked to the floor and his pretty victim was left with blood pouring from a broken nose.
<span style="font-weight: bold">As the sentence was handed down, members of the soccer star's family screamed: "Institutional racism."
One relative shouted: "Heil Hitler," while another roared: "Steven Gerrard's still walking the streets" - a reference to the Liverpool captain's acquittal for affray earlier this year.</span>
After the footballer's lawyer moaned about the star's loss of wages, Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith said: "It is difficult to be sympathetic when you boasted about how much you earned.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Six-footer King - jailed in 2002 for handling a stolen BMW - has 13 previous convictions dating back to 1997.</span>
She said: "I felt someone grab my bum - someone grab my left buttock.
"I turned around because I was quite disgusted and shocked.
"There was a man standing towards the bar, further up the walkway, smirking at me in a suggestive way.
"I looked at him and said quite firmly, 'Don't touch me, it's not nice. Don't do that'."
King then tried to grope two of her friends also at her table, stroking their chins and necks.
The victim told jurors: "I just turned around and said, 'You're not part of this table, can you please leave?'
"I'm quite a lot smaller than him and he looked over my head at my friend, saying, 'Get this girl away from me'."
The footballer then "smashed" her in the face, leaving her with a broken nose, black eye and split lip.
Witnesses said they recognised King, who has a distinctive gold tooth.
