Craig Bellamy bankrupt

That’s why I hate him with a passion
Isn’t karma a bitch though? :)
Craig Bellamy has shed more light on his infamous bust-up with former
Liverpool team-mate John Arne Riise 15 years ago.

The pair both scored for the Merseyside giants in a famous 2-1 win
over Barcelona at the Nou Camp in 2007, but the duo were involved in
an ugly incident prior to the match.

Rafa Benitez's Liverpool were in Portugal in the build-up to their
showdown with the Catalan giants in the Champions League and the
manager let players enjoy a meal out together on their last night.

Bellamy and Riise's confrontation is well-documented and Bellamy's
golf swing celebration in the European clash is hard to forget, but
now the former striker has given more insight into the heated scuffle.

'He [Riise] pushed me a couple of times and I thought "where do I go
with this?". We played golf in the morning with each other and he was
cheating,' Bellamy told The Central Club.

'Robbie Fowler was playing with us and I said to Robbie "he's cheating
you know". Because I'd seen the ball go in the lake, he's picked one
up and gone "oh I've found it".

'We had a Christmas do and he didn't go, he said he had to go to
Norway, but we found out he didn't got to Norway, he just didn't want
to go on a Christmas do so he had to pay a fine.

'He had to sing a song as part of his fine. So I was like "you've got
to sing", but he was refusing so my head was like "I've had enough of
you, no you're singing".

'He sort of came back at me like "no I ain't singing, now f***ing mind
your own business". I let it go, I was with Sami Hyypia because we
have the same agent and he was like "just leave it".'

Liverpool were staying at Barringtons Golf and Spa hotel in an
exclusive resort called Vale do Lobo in the Algarve, before heading to
play Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Captain Steven Gerrard had booked a private room at Monty's Restaurant
and Bar, complete with a karaoke machine. Liverpool's trainers and
managers weren't around, which meant the players were allowed to have
a couple of drinks. However tensions spoiled over.

'You know when it's just chewing away at you and with drink as well.
So he went, I remember staying behind and me and Steve Finnan were
going back to our room,' Bellamy continued.

'And I was like "I'm not having this, I'm not accepting what he done
there". So I got my club, went to his room, knocked the door.

'Daniel Agger's sharing with him. He [Riise] put it on the latch
because he thinks it's Daniel Agger.

'So I open the door, roll in, he's in bed, I smacked him across the
legs and said "you ever speak to me like that in front of anyone, I
will put this round your head".

'That was it. I went, it was a little bit more talking c***.'

Bellamy was forced to apologise and pay an £80,000 fine. Other
players also got into trouble that night, including goalkeeper Jerzy
Dudek, who was bundled into the back of a police car in handcuffs.

Although Liverpool went behind early in their match with Barcelona, it
was Bellamy who got them back into it with a goal just before half
time.

He celebrated by running to the corner flag and making a swinging
motion, as if with a golf club.

All that EPL money over the years and in 2023 he's officially bankrupt.

I’m not a tax dodger but I have been very naive and the HMRC have been pursuing me for unpaid tax for some time. Everything I have had has been taken from me. If you get the wrong people advising you, it all haemorrhages, it all dwindles. It has got to the point where bankruptcy is a relief. It means I can just live again.

Fuuk him and every other tramp that played for them.
 
Even a journeyman playing at a mid table premier league club would be earning a decent salary and with the right advice and investment would still have a comfortable life once their career is over.

Not long after he signed for them he signed up for the film company. There's no official link but that mob are as guilty as sin. They've obviously pointed their players in that direction whilst keeping themselves squeaky clean. Something they seem very very good at.

Think it was the same day.
 
Oh well plenty money awaits with sky,by and other media. Maybe celtic will have a testimonial for one of their "legends" from helicopter sunday
 
No way will he be skint, by normal people's standards. He'll have houses and assets under other people's names.
 
The only thing I'll say in his defence, is that he always asked for a wage of 70k a week as he funded a football academy in (I think) Sierra Leone at 30k a week. So he's maybe not pissed it all away on booze and gambling.

Anyway, that's the niceties over... So f*ck him.
 
Little scumbag was morally bankrupt years ago. I recall him saying something along the lines of " I pay a guy more to cut my grass than you get for playing football" to a lower league player while he played for the morally bankrupt football club.
you reap what you sow rhat

Normally I'd like to think I would always sympathise with anyone down on their luck.

For this classless wee Welsh scrotum however, I'm happy to make an exception.
 
No sympathy for the little rat.
He came across as an arrogant bastard and like the scenario with Robbie Keane the Tims were convinced when he signed it was a game changer in terms of the league title for them.
It's glorious how wrong they were :p

Probably something that we should’ve tried also instead of being up to our oxsters in it, would probably have not seen us crippled for the last decade and more.
 
Needing a bung from the players he was slagging asking them to cut his grass or whatever it was. Prick.
 
Did a podcast, with Robbie Fowler or Jamie Carragher cant remember which, and his stories are pretty decent to listen to.

It will be someone close to him, if they make the rules easy enough to get round they’re going to get taken advantage off. he must have been on good money for a lot of his career. my memory might be wrong as it was a long time ago but from my recollection without him we would have won the league with a few games spare if they didn’t get him.
 
He was only in the door 2 minutes at the Glitterdome when he stated "everyone in Scotland knows that Rangers are the establishment club".
 
He's the pricks's prick.

And I imagine he'll be earning plenty as assistant manager of Burnley. He can plead poverty all he wants, I'm sure he'll be more than comfortable.

No way a football academy in Sierra Leone cost 30k a week
If he was handing that over someone was getting rich at his expense
