Hartley Hare Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 As per the title, just seen news that he's been made bankrupt. I think he's still on the PFA avaliable players list, so he's not playing or earning at the mo'. Looked a good prospect at one time, but never seemed to make the step up to be a real top class winger. And now all his money's gone - think I read somewhere he'd got a long-time gambling problem, allegedly. When you think of all the money that's passed through his hands during his playing career, and he's now bankrupt - blimey, there must be some people made a heck of a lot of money out of him down the years.

Hartley Hare Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 He was at Leicester ages ago. Last at Glentoran, apparently. This is his full career history, from the PFA website :- http://www.givemefootball.com/transfer-details?player=5465 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Keith Gillespie He has never talked publicly about having a problem. In his Newcastle days the right-winger reportedly amassed a debt of £60,000. Recently, the former Blackburn, Manchester United and Northern Ireland international was named by the Professional Footballers' Association chief, Gordon Taylor, as an individual who can "take things too far and get into serious financial trouble". http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/i-borrowed-16321000-and-lost-it-all-in-three-weeks-473770.html Got to be careful here but one might say he played one game of snap too many.

JamesRam Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Don't really remember him too well, heard he was good though. Sad to see him bankrupt but maybe he should of agreed terms with that Irish club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartley Hare Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yep, that's him. Decent player on his day, 86 caps for Rep. of Ireland is testament to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
