An underworld fixer who saved Liverpool star Steven Gerrard from a gangster has been arrested after a year on the run.
John Kinsella, 44, stopped a villain known as The Psycho who threatened to shoot the England star in the legs.
Self-confessed gangland enforcer Kinsella slipped out of a court last year minutes before he was found guilty of taking part in a £41,000 robbery.
Police this week tracked the boxer and martial arts expert to Amsterdam, where he was living under a false identity. He is to be extradited. At his trial in Lincoln, Kinsella said George Bromley had demanded cash from Gerrard. He told the court: "I took steps. I told him to stop it and leave him alone. He followed my advice."
Steve's dad Paul confirmed the story to cops and said he and his son had "total respect" for the fixer.
Lincolnshire Police said last night: "We can confirm John Kinsella has been arrested."
While Kinsella was on the run he bizarrely won a three-year cut in his 14-year sentence - using legal aid.
