Ashley Reading, 55, ran investment firm Fortress Capital Partners alongside his glamorous WAG daughter Cam Reading, 25 before collapsing into administration in 2023.
The WAG, 42, agreed to pay £1,190,000 of Mrs Rooney's legal bill, plus was ordered to pay a further £212,266 in assessment courts, after sensationally losing their high-profile libel case.
The 25-year-old, who earns £80,000 a week, had to make do on the ground because no seats were free on his overbooked train during a day out with his girlfriend.
The former England striker, 38, believes he can play on into his 40s, and is being tipped to get big-money offers from the MLS in the US or the Saudi Pro League.
Football clubs in the conservative Middle Eastern nation fork out eye-watering sums to attract the sport's biggest names but that doesn't make life simple for their families.
