Two footballers were charged on Tuesday in connection with the same nightclub brawl which saw Steven Gerrard accused of assault.


Accrington Stanley goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin, 28, and the club's midfielder, Robert Grant, 18, were both charged with affray, Merseyside Police said.

A third man, Paul McGrattan, 31, was also charged today with affray and assaulting a police officer.

Liverpool and England player Gerrard, 28, remains on bail after appearing in court charged with assault and affray last month.

He was arrested in the early hours of December 29 after a disturbance at the Lounge Bar nightclub in Southport, Merseyside.

Company director Marcus McGee, 34, from Churchtown, Southport, required hospital treatment after receiving facial injuries in the incident.

Gerrard, a father of two who is married to model Alex Curran, 26, was at the bar with friends to celebrate Liverpool's 5-1 win over Newcastle United earlier that day.

Gerrard's solicitor indicated at his first court appearance that he would plead not guilty to the charges against him.

He is due to before North Sefton Magistrates again on March 20.

A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said Dunbavin, of Guildford Road, Southport, Grant, of Enstone Avenue, Litherland, Merseyside, and McGrattan, of Linden Drive, Huyton, Merseyside, will appear at North Sefton magistrates next Monday.

Two men, a 33-year-old from Huyton and an 18-year-old from Roby, Merseyside, remain on bail pending further inquiries.

If Gerrard wasn't such a high profile footballer, I reckon this would have been sorted not long after it started. There's no such thing as justice anymore, just people looking for ££££ compensation and the courts wasting their time on such matters when other serious crimes are being committed. Noone died, someone needs to decide if the offenders are a threat to the public - Gerrard wouldn't be out and about playing football if he was deemed that - and whether financial recompense is owed or maybe community service. It's such a waste of taxpayers money as well, paying for the judge, jury and any executioners on such pointless cases. I sat a few days on an equally pointless case, if we'd tried either the defendant or their accuser for assault which was more part of the evidence than the case, maybe it might have been worth it. All it was was a domestic, complete waste of taxpayer's money and everyone's time. I am surprised it got to court with the lack of worthwhile evidence on offer

The incident took place during the early hours of 29 December

On Sky news last night they said all the charges are due to CCTV in the bar, they also stated that SG might change what he plead to guilty due to the use of the CCTV being let into court.

anyone got any more news on this? this might not be good news.

the assault sounds seriousk so a full police investigataion is warranted and the guilty deserve to get the full force of the  law.

I am still surprised sg is in this as he doesn't seem the type.

his high profile should have no influence either way on what is justice.

[lakes10]
