Another Newcastle player, although not with the same rep as Gillespie. Like Gillespie though, Celestine Babayaro went bankrupt.

The former fullback, who also played for Chelsea, was declared bankrupt in 2011. It's not clear what caused it but Babayaro clearly wasn't sensible with his £25,000 a week wages. He's now a farmer.
