Shum Posted 14 June 2005 Posted 14 June 2005 Finnan Liverpool footballer Steve Finnan has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. The defender, who played in the club's Champions League final win, was involved in a collision in his Range Rover which resulted in a man's death. Henry Nelson, 81, from Liverpool, suffered serious head injuries in January and died five weeks later. A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said a 29-year-old man from Liverpool had been bailed until 29 June. The accident happened in the Tuebrook area of the city on 27 January but Mr Finnan, a Republic of Ireland international, was not arrested until more than two months 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." An inquest into Mr Nelson's death has been opened and adjourned until 4 July. Mr 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 for £600,000 before moving to Liverpool ahead of the 2003/04 season.
