Liverpool star in hot water over nightclub incident
Steven Gerrard has been charged with assault and affray over a glass-throwing incident in a Southport nightclub. The Liverpool skipper and five other men were arrested after a fight broke out which left a 34-year-old DJ with facial injuries. He has been bailed to appear before magistrates on 23 January.
