A man with hair "like Mick Jagger" fatally stabbed a 20-year-old with a broken golf club, the Old Bailey heard today.
Anthony Leader, 22, brawled with Sam Fitzgerald outside the Thornhill Arms in Islington, north London, as a football match was shown in the pub, jurors were told.
One witness, Noel Maher, described a man with "long, girlish, untidy hair, old-fashioned like Mick Jagger" fighting with bare-chested Mr Fitzgerald that night.
At first Mr Fitzgerald appeared to have the upper hand in the fight, but then Leader allegedly hit him in the ribs with a golf club so hard that it broke.
Witness Adam Gerbert described the blow as like a "high, strong, forehand tennis stroke".
Leader then stabbed the 20-year-old with the sharp end of the broken shaft of the club, it is claimed.
The victim collapsed and was taken to hospital but died at 10.30pm on April 14, 2010.
Prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors: "If you find that it was Anthony Leader who killed Sam Fitzgerald you may think he can't accidentally have plunged the shaft of that golf club 15 centimetres into Sam Fitzgerald's chest.
"Nor, you may think, can he have been defending himself. Instead the pair of them had willingly been fighting one another in front of a crowd of spectators. It was intended to be a fist fight, but it was Leader who chose to raise the stakes by using a weapon."
