Only works in Liverpool, though, and only if you are a well known footballer

Pre-emptive assault. I'm no lawyer, but I'm fairly sure it's legal provided you had enough evidence.

Thats what he was paying his solicitor for!!

Unbelivable, 6 against 1 and he pleads self defence and gets away with it!

But all his mates pleaded guilty!, pretty sure they were guilty and not paid by Gerrard to take the pressure off his case.

Wonder what the verdict would have been if he was tried in Manchester.

The best sort of defence is to attack, and the best way to attack is surprise... so hit the other chap before he even had the idea to hit you, it's the only way!
