Former Liverpool attacker Craig Bellamy has issued a warning to footballers, young and experienced, not to make the same mistake he did after being declared bankrupt.
The 78-time Wales international played 54 times for the Reds over two spells, winning the League Cup and Community Shield during his time at Anfield. During his career, he enjoyed noted spells at Norwich City, Newcastle United, Manchester City and Cardiff City.
Now the 43-year-old is with table-topping Burnley in the Championship as Vincent Kompany's assistant manager and with the Clarets looking to immediately return to the Premier League. However, off the pitch, Bellamy owes almost £1.4m in taxes to HMRC and has been declared as bankrupt.
