A FORMER Latics player has been released on bail following a crash which killed a father of five on the M1 on Christmas Day.
Jordan Robertson, a Sheffield United striker currently on loan to Southampton, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving following the collision which killed 38-year-old Omar Mohamed, coach and a former captain of the Somalia basketball team.
