2. Paul Merson is one of the footballers who go broke
Paul Merson is a former Arsenal player who won the Premier League and the FA Cup with the Gunners. However, Merson almost ended up homeless without a penny on him.
The former Arsenal man had bad issues with alcohol and drug issues. Merson reportedly spent over £3 million on his addictions. Not only that, Merson had a bad divorce and had to sell his house to clear the debts he had.
However, Merson seems to have got clean and cleared his debts. He is now appearing as a pundit for Sky Sports.
