The last ruined sports star / From earning 10 million euros to bankruptcy

2023-04-21 14:04:33, Sport CNA

Wes Brown, the historic footballer of Manchester United, who played 15 years with the 'red devils', has been declared bankrupt by a court after earning nearly 10 million euros throughout his career.

HMRC filed a bankruptcy petition against Brown, who in his prime played 23 times for England and earned more than €56,000 a week.

Wes Brown, one of the best defenders in the history of Manchester United, played 362 games with the "Old Trafford" team and won 5 Premier Leagues, 2 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and 2 Champions Leagues.

"We're the ones who have to pick up the pieces and carry the burden of what's left at the end of their careers."

Last year Wes Brown separated from his media wife Leanne (she took part in the reality show 'Real Housewives of Cheshire'), whom he married in 2009 and had three daughters.

"Yes, we have a nice life with all this money, and I'm not saying money isn't good, but when you're in it, you live in this bubble. Although fans can be amazing, they can also be very cruel. ,” Leanne explained in 2019.

"It must be difficult for footballers to deal with being on top one minute and being hated for a bad kick or a missed goal. We're the ones who have to pick up the pieces and carry the burden of what's left at the end of the game," Wes Brown's ex-wife stated.

This is how an elite athlete breaks down: keys and examples

In football, 60% of Premier League players are broke five years after hanging up their boots; in the NFL it is more than 78% of players in the league who lose their entire fortune when they stop playing; and in the NBA there are 3 out of 5 players who remain in the red after leaving the league.
