Premier League footballer Raheem Sterling has been charged with assaulting a woman. The 18-year-old Liverpool and England winger from Woolton, Liverpool, was summonsed to Liverpool Youth Court on a charge of common assault. Police said a 27-year-old suffered "slight" facial injuries in an alleged incident in Toxteth on 2 November. Mr Sterling did not attend the hearing but his solicitor said he denies the allegation. He said the alleged offence took place when the footballer was 17 but, as he turned 18 in December, the matter should be transferred to the adult courts. Solicitor Mick Hogan said: "I do have instructions to the effect that Mr Sterling will be pleading not guilty to this charge. "He is aware of today's hearing and the club are very supportive." The move to the adult courts was supported by the prosecution and Chairman of the Bench Brian Upton adjourned the matter to Liverpool Magistrates' Court on 22 February. Sterling made his senior international debut for England last November against Sweden. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-21291106
Fathi Rick ‏@HullCityLive Raheem Sterling charged with assaulting a 27 year old woman. His Mam presumably?
Just sounds like a bit of a chav to me, and happens to have some footballing ability. Oh, and he has the face of a girl.
I quite like the top right one, I know that sounds wrong but it's just the way I roll sometimes. Take it on board and deal with it. On a side note does anyone else think Samir Nasri looks like a lesbian?
Steven Pienaar looks like a lesbian. Edit - I mean since he cut his dreads off and has the little mini 'fro.
A lot of footballers look like lesbians, maybe it's just meant to be that way. Nasri certainly does as does Rosicky, Pienaar. I actually prefer the lesbo look to the more preened style of say, Mario Gomez.
