A Tadworth bouncer accused of accidentally killing a clubber in central London has denied a charge of manslaughter.
Mark Pantalleresco, 51, is one of three men who restrained Adam Hird, 30, outside Club No.65 in Vauxhall in June 2014.
Mr Hird, an aspiring pilot, was rushed to hospital in the early hours, where doctors removed part of his skull.
He died two days later.
Mr Pantalleresco, of Brighton Road, Tadworth, denied a single charge of gross negligence manslaughter at the Old Bailey on Monday, October 5.
He will stand trial with fellow bouncers Sebastiano Ragusa, 31, of Celandine Close, Tower Hamlets, and Lewis Thorne, 22, of St Lawrence Chase, Ramsgate, Kent.
The three will stand trial on January 4.
