Marcus McGee, 34, who lost a front tooth and got facial cuts in the fight in nightclub with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard Last Friday told reporters that he was considering launching a Civil Action against Steven Gerrard and his six friends.

Gerrard was cleared of affray last month following the fracas with the businessman Marcus McGee, but six of the Liverpool midfielder’s friends received suspended jail terms and community service.

McGee said he has told lawyers to begin civil action for compensation for the injuries he received. He said: “I’ve got dental bills and legal fees arising from what happened. But, more importantly, I don’t think justice was properly served. I still can’t believe that they all walked free that they effectively got away with beating me up.”

A jury at Liverpool Crown Court acquitted Gerrard of unjustly attacking McGee in the Lounge Inn in Southport, Merseyside, on 29 December, hours after Liverpool had beaten Newcastle United 5-1.

Gerrard, of Formby, Merseyside, admitted hitting McGee but denied affray, saying it was in self-defence. Five of Gerrard’s friends admitted affray and another pleaded guilty to threatening behaviour in a fight. They were handed sentences of 18 weeks’ imprisonment, suspended for 12 months, and were also ordered to perform 150 hours of unpaid work.
