Final humiliation : Boris Becker to sell trophies

Boris Becker (pictured) has appealed for help to find his trophies because the bankrupt tennis ace needs to sell them to pay his debts - but can't remember where they are

Despite earning about £100million during his career, tennis star was declared bankrupt in June last year over a £3.3 million debt

Mr Becker and bankruptcy trustees are appealing for help in finding the German's trophies as the former Wimbledon great confesses he cannot remember where they are.

The bankrupt tennis ace needs to sell the trophies and memorabilia from his playing days to help pay his debts.
Mr Becker is trying to collect some of the trophies and memorabilia from his playing days - but some are 'unaccounted for' because he is 'unable to recollect where they are located'. Missing items include trophies he won for victory at Wimbledon in 1985 (pictured)

The trophies being searched for include the star's trophies for victories at the Australian Open in 1991 and 1996 and Wimbledon in 1985, 1986 and 1989. Also missing are trophies from the President’s Challenge Cup in 1985 and 1989 and the Renshaw Cup in 1989.

An appeal has gone out that said: 'Anyone with any information relating to the whereabouts of the missing trophies, or any other memorabilia or other information of relevance to Mr Becker’s bankruptcy estate are encouraged to contact the joint trustees.'
