Former Man Utd star Wes Brown who earned £50,000-a-week declared bankrupt

Wes Brown made a whopping 362 appearances for Manchester United, winning the Premier League five times as well as the FA Cup and Champions League twice.

He also won 23 England caps and after leaving the Red Devils in 2011 went on to play for Sunderland, Blackburn Rovers and Kerala Blasters in India before hanging up his boots in 2018. At the time he was the last member of Manchester United’s 1999 Treble-winning squad still playing professionally.

Brown, who was born in Longsight, Manchester, was the youngest member of United’s squad when they beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in Barcelona to win the Champions League to complete the treble.

Last year it was reported he had split from his wife Leanne, 46, who appeared in the reality TV show Real Housewives of Cheshire. The couple, who have three children, had tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Peckforton Castle near Tarporley, Cheshire, in 2009.
