    Rooney Relative Arrested Over Steven Gerrard Brawl

    Wayne Rooney's brother-in-law has been arrested in connection with the same violent nightclub incident that saw Liverpool's Steven Gerrard in custody...



    Wayne Rooney's wife Colleen McLoughlin today confirmed that her brother had been arrested in connection with the same assault in a Southport nightclub that had seen Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard end up briefly behind bars.

    The England midfielder will face charges of assault and affray at court in Liverpool later this month, and yesterday another man, reported as being aged 19 and from the Huyton area of Liverpool, was taken into custody in connection with the incident.

    Today a spokesman confirmed on behalf of Coleen, the wife of Gerrard's England team-mate, Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, that Antony McLoughlin had been arrested.

    "All we can say is to confirm he was arrested and confirm he was released without charge," a statement read.


    "There will be no other comment from Coleen, Wayne or Coleen's family."
    Merseyside police stated that McLoughlin had been released pending further enquiries. His father, Mr Tony McLoughlin, 49, told the Daily Mirror his son had "not done anything."

    Part-time DJ Marcus McGee allegedly lost a tooth and suffered a cut face as a result of the brawl, which took place as Gerrard and his friends were celebrating Liverpool's 5-1 thrashing of Newcastle United over Christmas.
    Gerrard will appear in North Sefton Magistrates' Court on January 23, along with two other men, to face charges of assault and affray, and could face a jail term if convicted.

    Why is this deserving of a thread? im pretty sure it was mentioned in another thread - maybe the pool one - and it went by with little incident!

    Sorry folks but this is too much of a potential car crash.

    I'm gonna lock it but not delete it so people can still read the article.

    Cheers
