John Arne Riise has been declared bankrupt by Liverpool County Court for an unpaid debt of around £100,000.

The Liverpool defender, who is thought to earn around £50,000 a week, is involved in a legal battle with his former agent, Einar Baardsen.

The case is reported to be linked to an alleged £3m fraud investigation going through the courts in Norway.

Riise's solicitors are believed to be preparing to go back to court to have the bankruptcy order annulled.

Thats just mad if he earns that much a week

Maybe if company's didn't pay them so much this sort of thing wouldn't happen.

Footballers might have skills but the amount of money they get, then end up being declared bankrupt makes me sick.

This might explain his poor form this season then...although he has come up with a few vital goals (Chelsea and Barca).

Apprently he is just refusing to pay his former agent the fee's which he is demanding, the bankruptcy thing is meant to be overturned this week upon appeal.

His agent is meant to be corrupt and that's why he is not paying, it's nothing to do with his financial situation.

Whatever the case may be, he scored a million dollar goal today
