This is gang boss Liam Byrne’s son enjoying a birthday bash with his pal Nathan Little - and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
Lee Byrne recently revealed his love-affair with Gerrard’s daughter Lilly, who he called “the best person I’ve ever met” and his “little love.” Now these photos show Byrne hanging out with Lilly and her Premier League star dad.
They’re with Nathan Little - who was identified by the Criminal Assets Bureau as being a low level member of the Byrne Organised Crime Group. Steven Gerrard, his daughter, wife and Lee Byrne have no involvement in crime.

Lilly, like Lee, has a massive following on social media site Instagram, and is also a model and considered to be an ‘influencer.’ The pictures come after a video appeared on social media last year of the former Aston Villa manager with Lee’s gangster father.
In the video the former Liverpool captain is seen inviting a man to watch a match as Byrne is seen joking with the fan. Towards the end of the video Byrne offers to set up a dinner between the fan and Gerrard in his home.
Byrne said: “You pick a date you want and I’ll get the lads in Dublin to bring you over, come around my house and Stevie is going to come around and have some dinner with you.” Liam, who was named in Dublin’s High Court as the leader of the so-called ‘Byrne Organised Crime Group,’ is considered to be the de-facto leader of the Kinahan cartel in the UK.
Byrne is believed to have taken over from mobster Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh as the “number two” in the hierarchy of the Kinahan cartel, and leader of its operations in the transporting of drugs across the UK and Ireland. Kavanagh, who is Liam’s brother-in-law, is currently serving a 21 year sentence for conspiring to import millions of pounds worth of drugs.
Liam Byrne has enjoyed relative freedom while Kinahan is now said to be moving between various countries in an effort to escape possible capture. Liam Byrne’s brother David was shot dead in 2016 - in a gun attack at the Regency Hotel during a boxing weigh-in which sparked a deep feud between the Hutch/Kinahan gangs.
