Steven Gerrard has been warned about his association with notorious crime boss Liam Byrne, whose son is in a relationship with Gerrard's daughter.
Steven Gerrard was warned he was 'playing with fire' after a video emerged of him in the company of notorious mobster Liam Byrne . The Liverpool legend's daughter Lilly-Ella, who is in a relationship with Byrne's son Lee, has revealed that she is pregnant, with Gerrard sharing his excitement earlier this week about becoming a grandfather for the first time. 'Our little secret the best news, mini us is on the way,' Lilly-Ella wrote.
Beaming with pride, Gerrard responded to the post saying: 'We can't wait, great news and congratulations we love you'. However, there was some cause for concern over Gerrard's close links with Lee given that his father is a member of the Kinahan Organised Crime Group, reports The Express. Liam Byrne has been identified in court as the head of an organised crime group. Lee and the Gerrard family have no involvement in criminality. In February 2016, Liam's brother, David Byrne, was gunned down in one of the most infamous gangland killings in recent Irish history at Dublin's Regency Hotel – a shocking crime that intensified the Hutch-Kinahan feud, responsible for a tragic series of 18 deaths. Former Garda assistant commissioner Pat Leahy warned the former Liverpool star Gerrard that his association with his daughter's partner could be damaging for his public image. Leahy, speaking in 2023, made the comments after Gerrard was spotted in a video widely circulated on social media of himself with Liam. 'It's the son going out with Gerrard's daughter,' he told the Irish Mail on Sunday in 2023. 'I don't think it will do Steven Gerrard any favours now to be reading about him being arrested. He certainly knew ; he's not blind and he can read. 'He was playing with fire there and it is going to visit him now, front-on. When it begins to crumble and the questions start coming from the journalists, he won't be left off the hook.' The Champions League winner has also been photographed with Nathan 'Biggie' Little, who has been described as a junior member of the group by the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) in the High Court. The pair have even exchanged birthday messages, with Little posting under Gerrard's birthday post on Instagram: 'Alll dayyy laddd', while Lee posted, 'How it's done' with a 'cool' and love heart emoji. Little also wished Mr Gerrard's six-year-old son a happy birthday. Gerrard - now coaching Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia - has previously refused to be drawn on his relationship with Byrne Snr, but it appears that Lee is very much an active part of the Gerrard family.
