FORMER FOOTBALLER Jeff Kenna is selling his fabulous villa in Anchorage Hill, Bendinat, Majorca for €2.495 million because he and his family don’t get enough use of it.

Apparently Irish football is a tough old game. Recently appointed manager of Galway United, the season runs from February to November so it is hard for him to get time off in the summer.

Cluttons estate agents in Majorca is handling the sale of 39-year-old Kenna’s home.

With views over Palma Bay and the Bendinat golf course, it has four bedrooms and four bathrooms and a double garage. All the rooms, upstairs and downstairs, have outstanding sea views. The villa has a 68sq m (732sq ft) swimming pool plus barbecue area.

But villas like this are not bought on the proceeds of Irish football alone. Kenna has played for Southampton, Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City, Derby and Kiddiminster. He won the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers in the 1994/5 season. He also played 27 times for the Republic of Ireland.
