I imagine the magistrates thought the scenario too unlikely.

They're a decent band, actually. Should of left them on and kept Phil Collins in the CD case.

Didn't Joleon Lescott (allegedly) get seriously injured in 2003 by some gangsters in Birmingham during his Wolves days for trying it on with the wrong woman. Was out for the virtually the entire following season.

Always lots of stories about footballers. Alan Hutton is another one. Battered his father after a day on the beer I think and was also a big fan of Charlie (the Prince of Wales of course) allegedly. And then you have Calum Davenport who got stabbed in the legs after a big argument with his sister and her fella.

It'd turn into a clusterfuck within 20 minutes as Gerard supporters will deny he ever had links to shady figures in Liverpool.He's not as innocent as he'd like people to believe. Remember when he was caught on CCTV punching a dj but somehow got away with it?

Many footballers have murky pasts or skeletons in their closets.Jermaine Pennant,John Terry - parents are drug dealers.

Ravel Morrison - running with a crew of gangsters in Manchester.

Maybe so, or maybe you might have a more enlightened discussion with people who actually know about Gerard's background who could go into more detail?

I've no doubt many professional footballers have or had had questionable links to bad elements in society. They aren't the gods that the media make them out to be just because of their athletic abilities. John Terry, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Robbie Fowler have all had affairs for example. Football, in England at least, is by and large a working class game. The players are working class. The supporters are for the most part working class.

That's not to say that a criminal element and the working class go hand in hand, or that being working class and being unfaithful are linked. I'm not saying that at all. They're just not brilliant people that Sky and the papers make them out to be because they're good at soccer. For many of the players, if it wasn't for the game, they wouldn't exactly be shining in other areas. Many come from deprived areas, very poor with limited opportunities. And they go from places like Toxteth and Peckham to being part of huge football clubs earning insane money every week.

I thought this thread might be overran by stupid Liverpool supporters who think the world shines out of his arse.

Ah. So you've just got some gripe with fans of a football club or the football club itself? G'man yourself, I'd say 'Pool supporters are weeping into their Weetabix today.

Instead, we have you in AH with your unbiased and objective views on anything Liverpool related.

This was brought up a couple of times on the Liverpool thread, don't think there was any big deal made of it whatsoever.

He can't post in the Soccer forum for a while unfortunately.

Where did you get the idea Rio Ferdinand was connected with gangsters, OP??

Only I happen to know although he comes from Peckham (which is rougher than sandpaper), he and his family are actually decent people...

I see the OP hasn't bothered to answer the question. He's too busy reading the Sun again!

Popular terrace chant aimed at Stevie...

'who's that coming over your wife?

Is it a gangster, is it a gangster?'

Apparently that's the tune the dj he smacked was playing, trying to be the big funny guy, wouldn't blame him for doing it if so.

Have to admire guys who come from a "deprived" area and make something of themselves. Gerrard became Liverpool and England captain, thats more than more fortunate people will achieve

irish coldplayer · 23-01-2014 07:16PM

Gerrards missus used to date one of the biggest gangsters in Liverpool before she met Gerrard.
i presume the gangster was none too impressed by Stevie G taking his bird.
Hes had problems with shady characters threatening him throughout his career, which is the real reason he didn't join chelski.
(for the record I'm a liverpool fan)

Being from a rough area doesn't give you a murky past. A fella I played football with as a kid, and swapped computer games with is in jail for possessing drugs and a gun. I've never been convicted of any crime, nor arrested. Do I've a murky past by association?

Did you write him a reference saying you had the utmost respect for him ?

blueser · 23-01-2014 08:59PM

Thought everyone knew about Gerrard, his missus and a well known Liverpool underworld figure. Google ''Steven Gerrard pancake''.

I remember the press conference he gave when he signed the new contract. Not once did he look at the camera and gave every indication it was signed under duress. I stress, the duress wasn't from the club. And I'm a proud Cockney Red!
