Gerrard Attacked By Drunk Brawler At Carra Bash

Liverpool and England captain
Steven Gerrard has been
attacked.
The Sunday Mirror says Gerrard
was attacked at a surprise 30th
birthday party for team-mate
Jamie Carragher ’s wife.
A partygoer threw a punch at the
England captain at the bash for
WAG Nicola Carragher at a hotel
in Merseyside.
Liverpool star Gerrard, 30, was
targeted as he chatted with
friends in a private area of the
hotel.
Shocked guests stopped the man
before he could throw more
punches at the midfielder, who
led out England against Bulgaria
on Friday evening.
A witness said: “Steven was ­
minding his own business when
this bloke started a row with
him, apparently over nothing.
“He squared up to Stevie and
was shouting abuse. Before
anyone knew what was
happening the man had thrown
a punch.
“Thankfully he didn’t connect
properly — probably because he
was quite drunk. Steven looked
as shocked as anyone else. It was
unprovoked but Steven didn ’t
rise to it.”
