The former England U21 international spent the last years of his professional career playing in Indonesia for Mitra Kukar, but hasn't been registered at any club since leaving Southern Combination Division One side Wick in 2017.
And now he has been forced to declare insolvency, according to the public record, despite having once earned a salary topping out near the £1million-a-year mark.>

The FA should have a rule that players aged 18–21 that are getting enermous contracts from Premier League clubs have 20% of the salary paid into a trust fund that they can’t touch until they are 30 or something (no idea if that’s even legal).18 -

Looking at that picture and the stories about mystery intruders, charging at police with a knife and getting on it at Chessington-I could hazard a guess where his money has gone.4

Seth Plum (the real one) was a petrol pump attendant and he played football for England.
When I was very young I used to go out with my grandfather (he died when I was 9 so I was very young) in his van when he was making his deliveries and I have a memory of him telling me that the bloke that just served him petrol on one occasion was called Seth Plum and he had played football for England.

Well, to be fair, Indonesia is south of Birmingham so his grasp of geography is better than Dale Stephens'.ricky_otto said:Classic...
