Liverpool footballer Steve Finnan has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

The defender was involved in a collision in his Range Rover which resulted in a man’s death.

The incident occurred last January when Henry Nelson, 81, from Liverpool, suffered serious head injuries in January and died five weeks later.

The police spokeswoman said: “A 29-year-old man from Liverpool was arrested on 11 April on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

“He was bailed pending further inquiries to appear at a police station on Wednesday, 29 June.”
