Gerrard brawl victim describes 'barrage' of blows

The man allegedly attacked by England footballer Steven Gerrard during a bar room brawl today relived the incident in court.

Marcus McGee, 34, said he faced a “barrage” of blows after the Liverpool captain asked him “who the f***” he thought he was when refused to hand over control of a CD player.

Mr McGee lost a front tooth crown in the attack in the early hours of December 29 last year, Liverpool Crown Court heard.

Mr McGee, who was initially attacked by Gerrard’s friend John Doran, said he thought the soccer player struck the first blow.

He said: “I remember a barrage of punches coming in at my face but I didn’t know who has done what.

“Having watched the CCTV it was obvious Steven Gerrard hits me a couple of times, maybe three times but I couldn’t honestly say on the night.

“I didn’t know who did what.”
