England and Liverpool legend John Barnes has been declared bankrupt after his media firm racked up debts of £1.5million.
It emerged Tuesday that the bankruptcy order was issued against Barnes, 61, by the High Court of Justice on September 23. The notice was published by the London Gazette.
The issue relates to his now-liquidated company, John Barnes Media. The ex-footballer had previously been banned from being a director for three and a half years relating to the debts.
