Reds' skipper Gerrard found 'not guilty' of affray
England footballer Steven Gerrard is a free man after he was cleared of unjustly attacking a man in a bar.
The Liverpool midfielder arrives at court.
The Liverpool captain was accused of attacking a DJ in a nightclub in a row over music in December 2008, but has been cleared after the jury's verdict was delivered on Friday.
Gerrard admitted hitting Marcus McGee, 34, in a Southport bar, but a jury at the city's Crown Court accepted his explanation that it was in self-defence.
The 29-year-old was the only one of seven defendants to be cleared over the ''explosion of violence'' at the Lounge Inn during which Mr McGee lost a tooth and suffered facial cuts.
