The firm was served a closure order in April.
Its last financial details, for the year ending January 31, 2023, show it owed £53,953, had £4,772 banked, £25,126 of unsold stock and was owed £339.
Lingard, 32, who played 32 times for England, scoring six, placed his fashion brand, JLingz Ltd, into voluntary liquidation in January after piling up a £276,000 debt.
He now plays for South Korean club FC Seoul.
Lingard spent eight months without a side after leaving the City Ground, before penning a two-year deal in the Korean capital.
The former Manchester United star has scored four goals in 16 league matches for Seoul this season, who sit seventh in the K League 1.
He has said "life's good" in Korea and believes he has rapidly adapted to the different style of football.
The United academy star also admitted to scoffing McDonalds and Papa Johns since moving to Korea.

Liverpool forward expected to leave Anfield

Liverpool have accepted a €75m (£65.5m) bid from Bayern Munich for winger Luis Diaz. Diaz, 28, who is currently with Liverpool on their pre-season tour in Tokyo, had asked to leave the club. He is expected to depart to complete the formalities of his move to the German champions. Liverpool had initially insisted Diaz was not for sale and failed in attempts to extend his contract due to wage demands. This transfer represents the third largest fee Liverpool have received for a player, after Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez.

Rio Ferdinand hits out at BBC over coverage of England Lionesses' Euro 2025 triumph with Man Utd icon left stunned

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RIO FERDINAND was stunned by the absence of one ex-Lioness on BBC Sport's coverage of the Euro 2025 final. The former England international was watching the Lionesses beat World Cup winners Spain on penalties and be crowned back-to-back European champions on Sunday.

With three shocked-face emojis, he wrote on X: "How's @fara_williams47 not on the @BBCSport coverage." The ex-Manchester United defender is of course referring to former Lioness Fara Williams. Williams, who made 172 appearances for her country between 2001 and 2019, has become one of the most prominent pundits in the women's game since she hung up her boots. read more football what a leg-end England icon Lucy Bronze reveals she played whole Euro 2025 with broken leg She had featured regularly on the BBC's coverage of the tournament over the summer.

What football can tell us about the state of Britain

Football makes for a good bellwether in part because of its sheer scale. According to the FA, 14 million Britons play regularly. The country has 243,000 football coaches (as many as it has primary school teachers), 27,000 referees (twice as many as judges and magistrates), and 1.4 million volunteers (30 times the number available to the National Trust). But this ubiquity also makes writing a social history a formidable challenge. What is there to say about the Qatar World Cup, or the European Super League, or the Russian ownership of clubs that hasn't been said already in countless newspaper columns and magazine articles? Goldblatt's answer consists in his approach – at once statistical and historical – and his emphasis on lower-league teams. These combine into a thoughtful narrative that offers surprising insights into the deeper structures and challenges underpinning the game. Where in 2014 the story was on the whole a positive one – a decline in racism and hooliganism, an astronomical rise in match attendance and viewing figures, and a better sporting standard – today the state of play is grim. Many of the apparent advances then look in doubt, if not in plain regression, now. Take racism. In 2019, 93 per cent of fans from minority ethnic groups (polled by Sky) said they had witnessed racist acts at football matches; 71 per cent had been abused themselves. These would have been humbling numbers in the Victorian era. Goldblatt's stories illustrate the scale of the problem. A Newcastle under-23s coach took his squad on a team-building day to a 'Go Ape' adventure park and told his black players they 'should be used' to climbing trees; the same year, an eight-year-old in Leicester described a game in which 'instead of shaking our hands, the opposition players slapped them and said 'banana' as they went down the line and made monkey noises'. Alan Sugar, in 2018, tweeted a photoshopped picture of the Senegalese World Cup squad standing behind a display of sunglasses and designer bags, saying he 'recognise[d] some of these guys from the beach in Marbella'. Many of these chapters are disheartening. Mercifully, Goldblatt is blessed with a sardonic sense of humour, and his account is leavened by a sharp eye for the absurdity of much that surrounds the sport. Here he is on clubs' increasingly frantic memorialising on November 11: 'Swansea's Cyril the Swan bowed its elongated head, but only at the cost of its beak bayonetting its stomach, and no amount of low bows and hands behind backs could disguise the demented rictus grin of Southend's Sammy the Shrimp.'
