Former England and Liverpool legend John Barnes has accumulated debts of over £1.5million in his media firm having been banned as company director for three-and-a-half years.
The 61-year-old, who made 79 appearances for England and spent a decade at Anfield, owes the enormous sum to HMRC and other creditors.
The ex-Newcastle and Watford star owes HMRC £776,878 in unpaid VAT, NI and PAYE, £461,849 to unsecured creditors, a £226,000 directors loan and liquidator's costs worth £56,535.
He has so far paid back £60,000 after agreeing to return the directors loan in instalments.
