Liam Byrne and his circle of celebrity friends

Kinahan Cartel target Liam Byrne has networked with a host of celebrities from the world of sport in recent years managing to moonlight between days out at Ascot races and what officers say is a seedy underbelly of organised crime.
With his son Lee currently dating football star Steven Gerrard’s daughter following a string of influencer girlfriends it seems the worlds of crime and celebrity merge with ease in the modern world.
Nicola is joined by Niall Donald to talk about the first court appearance of Byrne since his dramatic arrest on the island of Majorca this week on Gun charges and about the millionaire friends he has kept close over years at the very top of the organised crime ladder.

Gerrard is thick as a brick. Everyone knows Gerrards Mrs family are way up the ladder in Liverpool for decades but to leave your daughter go around with the Byrne's on holidays and whatever knowing that any number of criminal outfits could start blasting at any time.. Smh

Exactly what I thought, as if you’d be ok with your daughter going out with this lot

[@davidpurcell8189]

Agreed, I would never let my daughter any where near them.

Gerard is I believe to be self-centred type, always thought he was better than he actually was. Always demanding more money from Liverpool football club and threatening to leave, he is greedy. the club should have gotten rid much sooner and told him not to slam the door on the way out. he has no loyalty, Liverpool football club should think very carefully if they think he is to be their next manager. Not🤔 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Why are they mystified about Gerrard's penchant for being a Gangster Groupie? He was doing it for years in Liverpool before he overstepped and Bromley Jr was gonna do him ( Wonder how much he paid Kinsella to sort it for him) and When up in Scotland was seen hanging around the 2-Bob plastic Loyalists, hes a classless clown who wears Billy Conolly's banana boots.
