The goalkeeper for Accrington Stanley Football Club has been arrested in connection with a bar brawl which allegedly involved Premier League footballer Steven Gerrard.
Ian Dunbavin, 28, was arrested on Friday morning on suspicion of assault and affray, according to police sources.
The brawl took place in the Lounge Inn bar in Southport, on December 29. Part-time DJ Marcus McGee allegedly lost a tooth and suffered a cut face.
Gerrard, the Liverpool FC captain, was celebrating the Reds' win over Newcastle when the trouble began.
The 28-year-old player was arrested and charged with assault and affray.
In the hours after the fracas, blood and broken glass were visible on the floor of the club.
Gerrard, of Formby, Merseyside, will appear at North Sefton Magistrates' Court on January 23 along with John Doran, 29, and Ian Gerard Smith, 19, both of Huyton.
They also face counts of assault and affray.
Coleen Rooney's 19-year-old brother, Anthony McLoughlin, was also arrested in connection with the brawl but was released pending further inquiries.
Accrington Stanley Football Club, based in Lancashire, was promoted from the Nationwide Conference to League Two in April 2006.
It is perhaps best known for being name-checked in a celebrated British milk advert from the 1980s.
The scene was between two boys with thick Liverpudlian accents dressed in Liverpool football shirts who were looking for something to drink after a game of football.
They opt for milk on the advice of former Liverpool player Ian Rush, believing it will help them to play for a better team than Accrington Stanley.
