David James went bankrupt in 2014 despite making around £20m during his playing career.

The former England, Liverpool and Manchester City goalkeeper had accumulated huge debts after splitting from his wife in 2005. In 2014, James began selling off signed replica shirts and other career memorabilia to raise funds for himself.
