Bankruptcy Blues for Ex-City Star…
Once upon a time, in the land of footy ball and fairy tales, Trevor Sinclair, legendary dribbler extraordinaire, found himself tangled in the spaghetti of tax turmoil! The former Manchester City marvel, who could juggle a football like a circus seal, stumbled into a £36,000 heap of debt faster than a three-legged referee chasing a runaway whistle. Alas, the taxman cometh, and Sinclair was nowhere to be seen on the pitch of the courtroom!
In a match referee Caroline Wilkinson could only describe as “game over,” Sinclair didn’t show up, leaving HMRC biting its tax-filing fingernails. With debts stacking up like discarded half-time oranges, Trevor’s tax troubles were linked to his punditry goals and enthusiastic financial errors. His hopes of a Saudi Arabian media transfer couldn’t roll in fast enough to save him from this offside trap!
Judge Wilkinson blew the whistle, declaring Trevor “unable to pay his debts as they fall due,” while lawyer Robert Lee squandered Sinclair’s last-minute substitutions. As Sinclair’s football journey from Blackpool to QPR to West Ham faded like a goal line clearance from the past, one thing was clear: failing to appear is more than just a foul—it’s a free-kick straight to bankruptcy!
