 Jordan Robertson was on loan to Southampton at the time of the crash

A footballer has been jailed for 32 months after causing a fatal crash because he was trying to change songs on his MP3 player.
Sheffield United striker Jordan Robertson, 21, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at Leicester Crown Court.
Robertson crashed into the car driven by father-of-five Omar Mohamed on the M1 in Leicestershire on Christmas Day.
Mr Mohamed, 38, from Leicester, died in hospital on Boxing Day.
Both drivers had been travelling on the southbound carriageway of the M1 by junction 19 near Lutterworth when Robertson's Mercedes CLC 180 sports car hit Mr Mohamed's Ford Galaxy.
Driving ban
Robertson, of Hazelbarrow Road, Sheffield, told police he had been using the MP3 player - a personal digital music player - at the time of the incident.
Mr Mohamed was airlifted to Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry but died later with his wife at his bedside.
Sheffield-born Robertson, who was on loan to Southampton at the time of the crash, was also banned from driving for five years.
He joined Sheffield United as a trainee but has spent much of his career on loan to other clubs including Torquay United, Northampton Town, Oldham Athletic and Bury.
He also played for Sheffield United's Hungarian sister club, Ferencvaros.
A spokesman for Sheffield United said the club's thoughts were with the victim's family, but it was "too early to say anything else".
