Wes Brown Cristiano Ronaldo
Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has been declared bankrupt by the High Court in London. The bankruptcy petition was filed by HM Revenue and Customs on February 27 of this year and was confirmed on April 12. Brown, who used to earn £50,000-a-week during his playing days at Old Trafford, has not disclosed how he found himself in this situation.
Brown had a remarkable career at Manchester United, where he rose through the ranks to become a club legend. The former defender made 362 appearances for the Red Devils, winning five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, two League Cups and two Champions Leagues during his illustrious career.
It is a sad situation for the former England international, who recently split up with his wife. Brown's bankruptcy declaration highlights the need for footballers to plan for their future beyond their playing career.
Footballers often earn a significant amount of money during their playing days, but it is essential for them to manage their finances wisely to ensure that they are financially secure after their retirement. Brown's bankruptcy serves as a reminder to footballers to invest their earnings wisely and seek financial advice to manage their finances effectively.
Importance of mental health support for sportspersons
Brown's financial situation also highlights the importance of mental health support for retired footballers. The transition from a successful playing career to retirement can be challenging, and many players struggle with the loss of their identity, routine and income.
The football community must provide support and guidance to players during and after their playing career to help them navigate the challenges they may face. Brown's situation should serve as a wake-up call for the football community to take action to provide support to players in need.
