Some ex-players, including the former Celtic star and Duncan Ferguson, along with managers face demands of up to £6million and many bills will be up to 20 times higher than the amounts invested

SIR Alex Ferguson, Chris Sutton and Duncan Ferguson are in a line-up of football big names set to be slapped with a £1billion tax bill.

The warning came after hundreds of ex-players and managers invested in a tax avoidance scheme called Eclipse.

Some face demands of up to £6million each by the end of the year. Many bills will be up to 20 times higher than amounts invested.

Ex-England bosses Sven-Goran Eriksson and Glenn Hoddle will also be hit along with former players.

Among them are the Man United legend, ex-Celtic ace and also former Rangers player Gordon Durie.

Nobby Solano, Jussi Jaaskelainen and Graham Kavanagh are also included.

There is no suggestion any of them intended to illegally avoid tax.

Law firm Edwin Coe, hoping to challenge the bills at a tax tribunal, called it a “nightmare scenario”.
