England legend Trevor Sinclair faces bankruptcy battle over £36k unpaid tax bill after his punditry stalled when he tweeted 'black and brown' people should not mourn the Queen
Football legend Trevor Sinclair could be made bankrupt over a £36,000 tax debt. The former England star, 52, is facing a court bid after HMRC demanded he settles an unpaid tax bill from 2021-22. The judge damningly said 'Mr Sinclair has to wake up to the fact that there's no more head in the sand because this is serious'. Mr Sinclair, who used to play for Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers, earned his fortune both from playing on the field as well as commentating on the side. But his career as a TV and radio pundit stalled when he questioned why 'black and brown people' were mourning the Queen in 2022 - which led to him leaving talkSPORT. This was his second blow after he was axed by the BBC in 2018 after he injured a woman while driving drunk. HMRC's lawyer Shabab Rizvi told Judge Caroline Wilkinson 'since the breathing space order ended, we have had no contact from the debtor'. They added that the former Premier League footballer 'should have the means to satisfy the debt, but there's been no contact with HMRC at all'. The taxman wanted a bankruptcy order but Mr Sinclair's lawyer Robert Lee asked the court to give the pundit another shot at paying off his debt. He explained that he is working in the media and is 'currently in receipt of a job offer in Saudi Arabia'. Mr Sinclair was also said that the cause of his mounting financial troubles was the death of his accountant. The court was adjourned for two months to let the ex-winger gather his affairs and pay off the two 'large sums of £13,000-odd' each of tax debt as well as outstanding National Insurance and penalties. Mr Sinclair is currently an assistant coach for the Indian national team.

And HMRC chiefs are now threatening to make him bankrupt unless he settles an unpaid tax bill for punditry work in 2021-22. Since retirement, the former wideman has worked as a pundit for media outlets including Talksport and the BBC on Football Focus and Final Score. But Central London County Court heard that he got into trouble with his finances and "hid his head in the sand" over money he owed to the taxman after his accountant died. Shabab Rizvi, for HMRC, told Judge Caroline Wilkinson that the ex-player has ignored demands for payment. Ms Rizvi told the court: "HMRC's position today is that we are seeking a bankruptcy order," she told the judge. "Since the breathing space order ended, we have had no contact from the debtor, she told the judge. "The debtor is a former Premier League footballer and should have the means to satisfy the debt, but there's been no contact with HMRC at all." Robert Lee, for Mr Sinclair, however asked the judge to put off making the bankruptcy order and give him another chance to get the money together and pay up. He told the judge: "Mr Sinclair is seeking an adjournment. He is a former Premier League footballer and he was working in the media.

He won the 1997 Match of the Day's "Goal of the Season" with a spectacular overhead bicycle kick in an FA Cup tie against Barnsley. He won 12 caps for England, four in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, before retiring in 2008 following a stint at Cardiff City. District Judge Caroline Wilkinson explained that the debt is for the tax year 2021-22, consisting of two "large sums of £13,000-odd" each, plus outstanding National Insurance and penalties. She said: "Mr Sinclair has to wake up to the fact that there's no more head in the sand because this is serious." The case was adjourned for two months to allow the former Prem ace time to try to get the money together to pay his debt. 6 He won 12 caps for England before retiring in 2008 Credit: PA:Press Association 6 Trevor Sinclair previously joined the coaching staff with the India national team Credit: X @trevor8sinclair
