High point:: Keith Gillespie challenges England's
Wayne Rooney during a World Cup qualifier in 2005
Former Northern Ireland international Keith Gillespie
has been declared bankrupt.
The former Manchester United and Newcastle United midfielder,
35, has been served with a creditor's petition and was listed in an
official receiver bankruptcy notice published on Friday.
He played last season with Glentoran in the Irish
Premiership and is one of Northern Ireland's most capped players
with 86 appearances since his debut in 1994.
A Revenue and Customs spokesman confirmed it had taken action
against Gillespie, who has an address in Bangor, Co Down, over a
tax bill.
He refused to say how much was owed.
Gillespie was a member of Manchester United's 1992 FA Youth Cup
winning team and represented the Red Devils until 1995 when he
moved to Newcastle.
