Lawrence Dallaglio, the former England rugby captain who lifted the World Cup trophy in 2003, now confronts financial devastation after fresh company documents revealed debts approaching half a million pounds.
The 53-year-old back row forward was declared bankrupt earlier this year following the breakdown of his marriage to Alice, his wife of nearly two decades, amid allegations of unfaithfulness from both parties.
Newly filed paperwork shows the rugby icon owes £423,570 in overdrawn director's loans connected to his defunct sports enterprise, Lawrence Dallaglio Ltd.
The former Wasps stalwart faces additional liabilities exceeding £60,000 to liquidators, despite their appointment more than two years ago.

His business also carries outstanding obligations of approximately £350,000 to HMRC alongside £61,000 owed to two further creditors.
The repayment of his director's loan is anticipated to contribute towards settling the substantial tax liability.
The couple parted with their £2.7 million Richmond residence this May, with the former England skipper agreeing that his portion of the proceeds would be directed towards clearing his loan obligations.
Dallaglio had initially anticipated receiving £3.3 million from the sale of the four-bedroom property in leafy south-west London, which had served as the family home for almost a quarter of a century after he purchased it for £925,000 in 2001.
The desperate nature of his financial predicament forced a sale at a reduced price, resulting in a £600,000 shortfall from his expectations.
A Premier League footballer reportedly acquired the property.

An insolvency court hearing earlier this month disclosed that the equity remaining in the home amounted to only around £1.2 million.
Alice had sought an urgent order permitting immediate sale of the property in hopes of preventing her estranged husband's financial collapse, though this effort ultimately proved unsuccessful.
Dallaglio's financial woes stand in stark contrast to his remarkable achievements on the pitch, where he established himself among England's finest ever players.
The powerful forward earned 85 caps for his country and featured in three British and Irish Lions tours during an illustrious career spent entirely at Wasps.
His crowning glory came in Sydney when England claimed rugby's ultimate prize in 2003, defeating Australia in that unforgettable final.
He captained his country on multiple occasions and received both an MBE and an OBE in recognition of his services to the sport, the latter honour bestowed in 2008.
Since hanging up his boots that same year, Dallaglio has carved out a career as a television and radio pundit whilst also commanding fees as an after-dinner speaker.
He established the Dallaglio RugbyWorks charity following the death of his mother Eileen from cancer in 2008, earning widespread praise for his philanthropic endeavours.

The marriage between Dallaglio and Alice, who wed in a romantic Lake Como ceremony in 2005 after a decade of courtship, produced three children: son Enzo and daughters Ella and Josie.
Their union weathered numerous storms over the years, including allegations of wild behaviour dating back to the late 1990s and claims of infidelity involving both parties.
Alice's mother, the artist Lydia Corbett, who was reportedly Pablo Picasso's final muse, spoke candidly about the separation.
"I'm very sad about it. People marry and they divorce, I've been divorced twice so I know what it's like. It's horrible, it's painful for the heart and it's not fair," she told the Daily Mail.

The couple finalised their divorce at the Central Family Court in Holborn earlier this year.
