Steven Gerrard

England mid-fielder Steven Gerrard who is regarded as a supreme soccer star has messed up his career with a brawl in Lounge Inn bar-restaurant. The ace 28 year old Liverpool star could well face up to five years in jail. He was arrested after being charged with assault last night over a punch-up in which a DJ was beaten.

Gerrard was with his friends celebrating his team’s victory over Newcastle on Sunday. He also celebrated for his two goals and a good 5-1 thrashing of Newcastle. All hell broke loose when Gerrard asked the DJ to hand him the playing card which allows one to change the music. DJ Marcus refused to hand him the card saying he could not alter the music policy.

A party witness said : “The whole thing lasted less than ten seconds. Gerrard was pulled out of the scrapping and it turned into a free-for-all…” Witnesses also said that there have been brawls earlier in the bar.

British soccer fans are shocked for Gerrard’s behaviour. England team boss Fabio Capello has already considered Gerrard for the 2010 World Cup.

Gerrard broke into a fight where part-time DJ Marcus McGee, 34, was wounded and needed four stitches to head wounds. Witnesses said there were Blood and shards of broken glass everywhere. The punch up took place on the floor of the pub which left England soccer hero Gerrard in police custody.

A shocked witness said: “Someone made a comment and it all went off.” Gerrard is believed to have gone through nine hours of police grilling.

Gerrard’s violent brawl comes after a few days when he spoke of the need for a crackdown on violence.

Gerrard who earns a whopping £120,000-a-week is reverred by young footballers for his 70 England caps feat.

DJ Marcus McGee was rushed to hospital after fighting broke out in the Lounge Inn bar-restaurant at around 2.30am yesterday.

Detectives reportedly spoke to witnesses and  rummaged through CCTV from the bar and surrounding streets.

Gerrard’s mansion home in Formby is close by from the crime scene. Marcus the DJ was with his friends who had an argument with Gerrard’s mates.

The witness said : “Marcus stepped in as peacemaker and it calmed down for a while. Everyone was drinking and having a good time. But when Marcus’s mates left, he was on his own and it was then that him and Gerrard started rowing by the dance floor.”

Dad-of-two Gerrard has captained England four times. Days ago he wrote a special Prayer for Liverpool for the city’s Anglican Cathedral. It read: “My hope for Liverpool for 2009 would be an end to gun and knife crime, making the city a place our kids can grow up to be proud of.”
