The HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) have filed a bankruptcy petition against former Liverpool and England footballer John Barnes after alleging that Barnes owes them £238,000.
A judge considered Barnes’ case at a hearing at the Insolvency & Companies Court in London earlier this month.
Barnes’ barrister advised the Court that Barnes was on a salary of £200,000 from Liverpool FC and would be able to pay but just needed more time and asked for an adjournment.
Another judge had dismissed another bankruptcy petition lodged by HMRC against Barnes in June 2023 after the Judge was advised that Barnes had paid the money that was owed which was in the region of £200,000.
