Footie star reveals his tax nightmare

LEGEND BARNES: I WANT TO PAY UP

JOHN Barnes says he’s forking out £10,000-a-month to avoid bankruptcy as he does not want “struggling” Brits to think he dodges tax.

The footie legend said he had been working with HM Revenue & Customs for eight years to pay back taxes he could not afford when bad investments left him hard-up.

He said he has paid the Government £2.2m since 2017 and is currently forking out £120,000-a-year to settle outstanding debts.
