That's primarily because since 2004 someone's pension funds doesn't comprise part of their bankrupt's estate, unless they've behaved fraudulently. It's the primary reason why bankruptcies are so de rigueur among recently retired footballers, as they usually have significant funds in their pension which they can get at from (iirc) the age of 35 (earlier if their careers are cut short by injury). It's a relatively easy, cost effective and painless (for them) way of realigning their ingoings and outgoings once the big bucks stop rolling in.

Occasionally, just occasionally, I read something on here that ranks alongside the words of John Fante.Bruce trying to keep up with White for that penalty was like watching a Blackpool Beach beast of burden trying to stay in touching distance of Shergar.

David's parents had given this coach their blessing, believing that his attentions would hugely benefit their son's football progress. They were, however, utterly unaware that this popular, 20-something, highly-regarded coach - who David hero-worshipped - was in fact a prolific and predatory paedophile.
Shades of Blue will detail the impact of that abuse, outlining the shocking events that left a young boy bewildered and traumatized. It will also explain why David was unable and unwilling to open up to his family or his club, petrified that the fallout would destroy his father and ruin his fledgling football career. It was not until many years later that David was able to face his demons and begin to rebuild his life. This book is his chance to tell the story of his extraordinary career, his fight to outrun the shadow of that early abuse, and to say what has never before been said.
