Steven Gerrard Arrested

[journeyman]

England and Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard has been arrested following an alleged assault.

The incident happened at about 0230 GMT at a pub in Southport. Six men were detained later in a nearby street.

The men, four from Huyton, one from Formby and one from Litherland, remain in police custody.

A 34-year-old man from Southport was taken to hospital with facial injuries which are not believed to be life threatening.

The men from Huyton are aged 33, 31, 29 and 19. A 28-year-old from Formby and an 18-year-old from Litherland are also being questioned.

Gerrard, 28, is Liverpool captain and scored twice in his team's 5-1 victory over Newcastle on Sunday.

Shocked. I never thought Gerrard was like that. Although you never know what was said to him or if anyone attacked him first.

Six months inside sounds about right.

Admittedly, Gerrard always seems an okay-kinda bloke but stories about his involvement with some rather unsavoury 'faces' are legend on Merseyside. I thought everyone had heard he was warned he'd have his legs broken if he went to Stamford Bridge - a threat, I understand, he took quite seriously.

I'd really doubt Gerrard started anything. Prob usual leech bast*** trying to make a name for themselves.
Don't get me wrong I'm not a Liverpool supporter by a LONG chalk but this seems a bit silly.
However, all you have to be in England captain to get away with such offences (kicking players in the face-al la Shearer), cutting players in half (Terry).

Not gonna be pro or anti anything here, I'm just gonna YAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNN!!!

NB: No idea if this story genuinely has substance or "legs" but precedent indicates that it doesn't.

Kinda interesting if I'm wrong though.
