Ex-Prem footballer turned ‘financial consultant’ declared bankrupt
Former Charlton Athletic FC footballer Richard Rufus, who later began a career as a ‘financial consultant’, has been declared bankrupt.
Rufus, who played almost 300 games for Charlton in ten years with the club, was officially declared bankrupt at Croydon County Court on 22 October under his full name, Richard Raymond Rufus.
Rufus had previously entered into an Individual Voluntary Arrangement in November 2011, after a bankruptcy petition was served by the Financial Services Authority.
He had reportedly incorporated Monopoly Trading and Investments in January 2005 and became a director in the firm. The firm, which dissolved in September 2013, undertook “activities auxiliary to financial services, except insurance and pension funding.”
In his bankruptcy report, Rufus is listed as a “financial consultant”.
