Former Newcastle and Liverpool player Danny Guthrie has been declared bankrupt after racking up excessive gambling debts in the region of £120,000.
The 35-year-old started his career at Anfield before going on to represent the likes of Bolton Wanderers, Reading, Blackburn Rovers and Walsall.
In May 2019 Guthrie borrowed a total of £75,000 from a friend to cover his households expenses. He is said to have promised to repay the loan after selling a home. But before that Guthrie ran up the gambling debts, and when he sold the aforementioned property in 2020 for a sum of £160,000, he chose to repay those debts ahead of other creditors.
