Steven Gerrard Charged With Affray - CCTV Footage
Liverpool Crown Court heard today that Marcus McGee was on the receiving end of a ‘boxer’ style attack. The 34 year old was repeatedly punched by Gerrards friends before Gerrard himself joined in and threw a ’succession of well aimed uppercuts’ in his direction.
David Turner QC, prosecuting, said: “there was “no doubt” Mr Gerrard struck Mr McGee and said the issue for the jury to decide was whether he was acting in self-defence. We do not say that Mr Gerrard is normally an arrogant man, we don’t say that he is a bully. What we do say is that that night he just lost his self-control and joined in an attack which should never have taken place. He let himself down.”
The trial concludes with Gerrard cleared of affray.
