A former Premier League footballer who has been declared bankrupt is insisting he had 'no idea' all his valuable assets could now be seized.
Lee Clark, 52, an ex-midfielder for Newcastle United, Sunderland and Fulham, said yesterday from his £2m mansion that he was oblivious to the risks.
This is despite his bank accounts and savings now being potentially earmarked to pay unsecured creditors, if the debt is not addressed.
The petitioner was a finance firm called One Stop Business based in York.
Mr Clark told the Mirror from his house in Jesmond, Newcastle: 'I have no idea. I have no comment to make I know nothing.'
