TWO Accrington Stanley players, along with Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard, have today denied a charge of affray after an incident at a bar.
Goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin, 28, of Guildford Road, Southport, and midfielder Robert Grant, 18, of Enstone Avenue, Litherland, both entered their pleas at a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court.
The pair are charged along with five other men, including England international Gerrard.
The Recorder of Liverpool Henry Globe QC adjourned the trial to July 20.
Businessman Marcus McGee, 34, is alleged to have lost a tooth and suffered a cut face in a fight in Southport in the early hours of December 29.
The seven defendants were given bail with conditions not to contact witnesses nor to enter the Lounge Inn unless with a legal representative .
