It's hard to imagine a guy making more than £40,000 running out of money, but it's happened to
Brad Friedel.
The former U.S. International and Aston Villa keeper owes about £5 million, according to a
English court.
Apparently, an academy he opened in Ohio a few years ago is the source of his financial woes,
and he seems hopeful that he can get it sorted out soon.
Aston Villa and former US goalkeeper Brad Friedel has been declared bankrupt at a court hearing
in Macclesfield. The cause of Friedel's bankruptcy is a soccer academy he set up under his name
in Ohio in 2007.
It was meant to be a non-profit-making venture, but it lost money heavily and court documents
show Friedel and his company owed almost £5 million last August and lender RBS Citizens was forced
to take action.
