Former England and Manchester United star Wes Brown was recently declared bankrupt at the High Court.
The footballer and his wife Leanne Wassell - with who he recently split - lived in a lavish five-bedroom Mobberley mansion before they put it up for sale a couple of years ago.
It was recently reported that the two went their separate ways after 12 years of marriage - before the footballer was declared bankrupt.
The couple, who have three children, had tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Peckforton Castle near Tarporley, Cheshire, in 2009.
The family lived at the sprawling property, complete with a swimming pool and open-plan living room, before making the decision to put it on the market for a whopping £4.75 million.
