Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard to deny assault during 'nightclub brawl'
Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool and England footballer, is to deny assaulting a man during an alleged nightclub brawl, a court has heard.
He will plead not guilty to affray and assaulting company director Marcus McGee, 34, last month following the Reds' 5-1 defeat of Newcastle United.
Gerrard, 28, appeared before North Sefton Magistrates in Merseyside over his alleged part in a brawl at the Lounge Inn, Southport.
He was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray along with John Doran, 29, and Ian Smith, 19, both from Huyton, Merseyside.
Gerrard, the Liverpool captain, was driven to the magistrates' court in Southport and had jogged up the steps dressed in a dark blue suit.
Dozens of photographers were kept back from the court entrance in a penned area.
Nick Evans, prosecuting, asked for the case to be heard next on April 3 after a 10-week break to prepare it.
But after submissions from the defence solicitors including Gerrard's, Richard Green, the magistrates adjourned the case back to the court at Southport on March 20.
Gerrard, a father of two young daughters who is married to model Alex Curran, spoke only to confirm his name and address and say he intended to plead not guilty along with the other defendants.
Gerrard had been celebrating the win over Newcastle, in which he scored twice, when a row was said to have broken out involving Mr McGee about the music being played at The Lounge Inn.
Gerrard is understood to have asked Mr McGee, a friend of the restaurant's owner, if he could borrow a swipe card which staff must use to operate the music system behind the bar.
Mr McGee is said to have refused to provide his card.
Gerrard has been a key part of Liverpool's push for a first title in almost 20 years. He has also been an influential member of Fabio Capello's England side, who have made an unbeaten start to their World Cup qualifying campaign.

en standpunt innemen over iets waar je niet bij was doe je niet? Hmm, vreemd, zeker als ik een "vreugde en ween- topic zonet even las"? Of zit hier mss meer achter?
mijn mening : als je hem daarvoor in de bak zou moeten draaien.
dat ze eens de echte hooligans aanpakken, zoals Joey Barton om maar een naam te noemen.

kijk langhe, ging het nu om Blackburn Rover of Cercle Brugge speler
kijk Il Pui, ging het nu over een speler van je favo ploeg (heb ik geen weet van)
jullie zouden zo niet reageren. deal with it
oordeel niet over Gerrard alsof hij een crimineel is, maar zie hem als een voorbeeld.

gebeuren ergere dingen momenteel dan een barfight. kerel leeft nog, heeft niet in de coma gelegen, zit niet in een karretje en heeft voor de rest niets gebroken, buiten een tand of 2 en een zeer oog.
ben al blij dat er geen wapens werden gebruikt.

als het ene van cercle of blackburn was, dan ging ik ook normaal vinden dat heel het stadion hem uitfluit en geen sympathie meer krijgt ...
