Footballer who spent £100,000 on a fish tank FOOTBALLER Stephen Ireland’s extravagant tastes have often been the subject of jibes from fans. Soccer star Stephen Ireland and his mammoth £100,000 fish tank [] Now he has splashed out £100,000 on Britain’s biggest domestic fish tank. The Manchester City midfielder, 23, is regularly lampooned for his bizarre fashion, including a Range Rover with pink alloy wheels and a garish £264,000 Bentley for his girlfriend. Now the Irish star has had a 6,000-litre aquarium installed during an interior refit of his £5million mansion. It is made from plastic, not glass, so it can withstand a hit from an errant ball flying off the nearby pool table, which has been customised with “Ireland” printed on the baize. It is home to 500 exotic fish including yellow tangs, wrasses and pineapple fish, and also contains half a ton of coral shipped in from Fiji. The custom-built acrylic tank is also fitted with Wi-fi and a high-tech computer system so that the £70,000-a-week footballer and his girlfriend Jessica Lawlor, 24, can control it via their mobiles and the internet.

Ireland, who has been fascinated by exotic fish since he was a child, described the tank, the centrepiece of the lobby of his home in Prestbury, Cheshire, as “immaculate”. used fish tanks for sale in delawareHe said: “It’s a breathtaking tank. fun fish tanks for saleWhen ­people come to the door and see the tank, their first reaction is ‘wow’.fish tanks for sale in baltimore “There’s a lot more to it than just glass and water. It’s very complicated with the pumps and water system we have. “The guys that have done it are top-class and it’s immaculate.” Ireland’s salt-water fish tank, which measures 13ft by 3ft and stands 8ft high, is believed to be the biggest ­privately-owned aquarium in Britain.

The tank comes complete with mahogany ­cabinetry and leather panelling. A spokesman for Aquarium Architecture, which designed and built the aquarium, said: “Stephen is passionate about tropical fish. “His knowledge and genuine enthusiasm makes it a pleasure to work for him.” Ireland became notorious for his luxury lifestyle in October last year when he bought girlfriend Jessica the quarter-of-a-million-pound Bentley for her 24th birthday. The GTC soft-top was decked out in a custom red-and-white paint job with love hearts and “To Jess love from Stephen” embroidered on the tailored leather seats.Username: Password: forgot your password?
