In part:
A statement from Brown's partner described him as a 'very calm, gentle and quiet' man who has never raised his voice or showed signs of violence within the relationship.
Mr Hector said it would be difficult for Brown to do community work as he played professional football, including games away from home. He said the defendant already gave his time helping to coach young people and engaging in community activity.
District Judge Stuart Smith said: "This incident is clearly out of character as you are usually kind, gentle and laid-back. No doubt alcohol played a significant part contributing to your behaviour on this day."
But he said Brown's reaction to the argument was excessive and his violence left the woman with red marks across the side of her face.
"This will be a blemish on your previous good character," he added. "As a professional footballer you are a role model to many thousands of young people with a great influence on their decisions and lives.
So not a nice incident - but in the words of one famous personality " He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
Let's give the boy a chance eh. Expect him to be involved in the Notts Foundation, send him back if he proves to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
