Former Liverpool and England footballer John Barnes has paid his money that was owed to the tax authority.
Barnes, 59, was facing bankruptcy back in December over an unpaid tax bill of over £200,000. The ex-Liverpool winger was the subject of a bankruptcy petition from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for the seventh time but it is now understood that Barnes' case has been resolved.
It occurred at an Insolvency and Companies Court hearing in London on Monday. A HMRC official told the judge that the money has been paid up in full by Barnes. He was reportedly not at the hearing but was represented by barrister Jonathan Lester in court.
