England’s midfielder and Liverpool Captain Steven Gerrard left alone to defend his case after his six co-defendants admitted that they had taken part in a brawl in a bar in Southport at December 29 that left a businessman injured.

The Liverpool captain was arrested on December 29, 2008 after police were called to the Lounge Bar nightclub in Southport, north of Liverpool, in northwest England. At a court hearing in April, Gerrard pleaded not guilty to a charge of affray in relation to the brawl. As the trial started on Tuesday, five of his co-defendants pleaded guilty to affray, and another admitted a lesser charge of threatening behaviour, the Press Association reported. Gerrard signed a two-year contract extension in April that will keep him at Anfield until at least 2013, and Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has said the club are fully behind their captain.
