A football agent has appeared in court accused of wounding a man in a pub.
James Featherstone, who represents Manchester United defender Chris Smalling and current Sheffield Wednesday manager Gary Monk, allegedly attacked businessman Darrin Bloomfield in the gents' toilets at the Stamford Arms in Bowdon, Cheshire, earlier this year.
Featherstone, 39, appeared in the dock at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday morning alongside his co-accused, Benjamin Cowgill, 38.
Both are charged with a single count of malicious wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm to Mr Bloomfield on March 8.
Neither defendant entered a plea during the hearing, which lasted less than two minutes, and magistrates sent the case to Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester, for a further hearing on December 3.
Featherstone, of Oldfield Road, Altrincham, and Cowgill, of Stanhope Road, Bowdon, were granted unconditional bail until the hearing next month.
