MC Gerrard wins £5k

Liverpool star Steven Gerrard has won £5,000 from England international pal and clubmate Peter Crouch by singing at a gay club.

The Liverpool pair were back home celebrating their 5-3 FA Cup win over Luton when the lanky striker bet his skipper the cash that he wouldn't dare get on the mike at city club Garlands.

But Gerrard walked over to the DJ and crooned along to Just Can't Get Enough by Herd and Fitz.

Then he had a go at spinning another record for the cheering dancers.

And, just to show there were no hard feelings that he'd lost his wager, Crouch joined in and became a second makeshift MC.

Gerrard, Crouch and fellow Anfield star Steve Finnan were at the gay club's Carry On Misbehavin' gala the night after their FA Cup triumph.

A source said: "They'd had a few drinks and, though Steven was a little the worse for wear, he readily let loose as soon as Peter bet him five grand."
