Former Premier League star made bankrupt

Former Premier League footballer Dean Windass has been made bankrupt over a £150,000 tax debt.

A judge made the bankruptcy order against the 47-year-old Hull City legend at a hearing in London following an application from HM Revenue and Customs.

He was not at the hearing and was not represented by a lawyer.

Windass made more than 600 appearances and scored more than 200 goals in an 18-year career.

The Hull-born striker played for more than half a dozen clubs, including Bradford City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Aberdeen.

In 2008 he scored the winning goal in the Wembley play-off final which saw Hull City promoted to the top flight for the first time in their history.
