Footballer Gerrard visits boy he knocked down

LIVERPOOL and England footballer Steven Gerrard yesterday visited the hospital bedside of a 10-year-old boy he knocked down in his car.

Gerrard gave a signed England shirt and boots to a “speechless” Jamie Hellawell who is recovering from the collision near Southport, Merseyside.

The youngster — a Manchester United fan — had just left Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School in Birkdale at around 3.15pm on Monday when he was hit by Gerrard’s car.
