Carlton Cole has been declared bankrupt despite earning millions over a 16-year career playing in the Premier League and for England.
Most known for his time at West Ham, Cole once earned up to £30,000 per week.
The 34-year-old was told of the verdict at London’s High Court and hopes his desperate situation can be a warning to young players exposed to the riches of the modern game.
“I hope my story will help young footballers to take responsibility for who they listen to and take advice from,” Cole said.
