LA Galaxy star Steven Gerrard denied membership to Southport golf course

Former England captain and LA Galaxy star Steven Gerrard’s application for a golf club membership was denied because of his off the field behavior.

Hillside Golf Club in Southport feared Gerrard’s behavior, stemming from his involvement in a street brawl in August 2013, would bring “shame” on its reputation.

The Sun reported that it is believed Kenny Dalglsh and Alan Hansen nominated Gerrard as a potential member for the club.

From The Sun:

A source said: “They’re worried he’ll damage the club’s reputation. Apparently they viewed the footage and decided he couldn’t play.
