just what I was thinking - if reports are true, gerrard could have gone the same way (too mch into clubbing etc) but for houlliers advice and actions.

That's bollocks. A lot of rumours about our players arte true, others are complete shite.
That is the latter. Stevie went out a fair bit, but I went out aruond the same time to town & repeatedly made a cunt of myself saying hello to him in bars, & despite the fact his company left a lot to be desired, & the choice of bars too (he was in the same one's as me, that says it all! For those who remember it, the 'Wonderbar' was his favourite haunt), he was never drinking, & usually left very early. In fact, the one time he stayed almost until closing I remember very well cos it only happened once. This was in the summer when we had no games too!

There was a story about him, Murphy and Carra spending time out a fair bit in Southport, to the point where Houllier made one of them move house from there. I don't think it was anything serious just a bit of caution on Houllier's part.
At the time aswell one of my mates bumped into him on a night out there, he did say he was keeping his head down and was just having what looked like a quiet drink with friends.
