Will Steven Gerrard Disappear into Obscurity?

Steven Gerrard considered one of the best footballers in English football today, has a tough time ahead of him. Can he weather the coming storm and regain his former glory in the eyes of the Liverpool and England football fans?

What a Mess!

I'm sure the whole world heard the news about Liverpool captain and England player, Steven Gerrard, getting him self into the press thanks to charges pressed against him regarding assault.

The Liverpool playing 'thug' was due to face court just a few days ago, where the Southport court magistrates' heard him plead not guilty to several charges of assault and affray. Steven Gerrard was not alone though, he was accompanied by his two associates, Ian Smith and John Doran, who both participated in the so called 'assault'.

The three were allegedly involved in a major night club brawl near to the end of December. The event that took place involved six men including the Liverpool player, and the consequence was one man needing hospital care to recover from his injuries.

It is definitely not over for the Liverpool star yet though, as Steven Gerrard and his two companions will be facing trial again on March 20, for their final hearing.

At 28, Steven Gerrard is currently at his prime, playing better than ever before, but the exposure throughout the nationwide press is only like to demolish his public perception. Up until recent events Steven Gerrard has been labeled a rock within a team and an asset to any football club, and now he is labeled as irresponsible and a common thug.

It definitely put a downer on Steven Gerrard's awesome week, which saw him score two out of five goals in the Newcastle battle, which saw Liverpool beat the team 5-1.

What about the Future?

It will be interesting to see how the perception of him as a player and star will pan out depending on the verdict at his trial. A guilty verdict could see him disappearing into obscurity. Or will his reputation see him hanging on until the public's view of the current events disappear into history, as has happened to so many other celebrities that have fallen foul of the law?

    I have supported Liverpool for over 50 years. As far as i am concerned Steven Gerrard is one of the best in the world. Long may he reign. I would suggest you keep track of your facts. Make sure that what you are writing is factual and not fiction.
