Finnan questioned in dangerous driving probe
Ireland and Liverpool full-back Steve Finnan has been arrested in the UK as part of an investigation into a death by dangerous driving.
The Irish international defender, who played in the heroic Champions League final victory against AC Milan last month, was involved in a collision in his black Range Rover which resulted in the death of a pensioner.
Henry Nelson, aged 81, from Liverpool, suffered serious head injuries and died five weeks later in hospital.
The accident happened in the Tuebrook area of the city on January 27 but Finnan, a Republic of Ireland international, was not arrested until more than three months later.
An inquest into Mr Nelson's death has been opened and adjourned until July 4.
Finnan, who originally comes from Limerick, started his career at non-league Welling before moving into league football with Birmingham and Notts County.
In November 1998 he was bought by Fulham before moving to Liverpool ahead of the 2003/04 season.
