Alex’s own goal - Liverpool ‘is too rough’
The wife of Liverpool star Steven Gerrard has declared that she no longer likes going out in her native city because its nightspots are "rough".
Alex Curran's comments came after she and the England star enjoyed the more refined surroundings of London's Nobu Berkeley restaurant, where they were pictured leaving, above.
They also follow the Liverpool captain, 29, being cleared of affray after he admitted punching a man in a Merseyside bar. Gerrard became involved in brawl over access to a CD player and insisted that he acted in self-defence.
Ms Curran appeared oblivious to the irony of the contrast with the court case when she told New! magazine she thought Liverpool's clubs and bars "attract the wrong type of people".
In her interview, Ms Curran said of Liverpool: "It's not the same any more. To be honest, it's rough. Everywhere new that opens attracts the wrong type of people. It's not nice, so I haven't bothered to go out."
Ms Curran, a former nail technician turned model and fashion columnist, has been described as the "uber-Wag". Three years ago, she was arrested over accusations of assault during an altercation at a restaurant in Liverpool. Charges were dropped.
