Former footy agent Ricky Nixon is facing the immediate threat of bankruptcy after he faced fresh criminal charges in court on Tuesday.

The controversial figure has been hit with nine counts of making a false document having already been charged with 10 counts of deception over the sale of allegedly fake commemorative footballs purchased by Melbourne fans following the Demons' Grand Final victory in 2021.

The allegedly fake footballs were sold by Nixon, 58, for $575, plus $20 postage fee and were claimed to have been signed by the premiership players.  



Buyers were also led to believe that the proceeds would be donated to a children's charity.

The 58-year-old attended Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday. No details pertaining to the case were revealed, although a committal mention was adjourned until June.

The former footy agent has been hit with fresh charges over alleged fraud

Nixon has denied the allegations of fraud, claiming he was duped by a fake AFL licensee who sold him the footballs.

The former agent also claims the authentic footballs were swapped out to fund the alleged conman's drug addiction.

The Herald Sun reports that Nixon faces the possibility of being declared bankrupt this week.

A creditor's petition has been filed by Melbourne businessman Greg O'Shea after Nixon failed to pay $40,000 allegedly owed to him following the sale of tickets to the footy.

A creditor's petition is an application asking for an individual to be made bankrupt. The application has been put to the Federal Court. 

On March 16, Nixon was given a Bankruptcy Notice, giving him 21 days to repay the money or Klaudena Test risk bankruptcy proceedings.

That case will be heard on Thursday this week. 

O'Shea claims he is owed commission from Nixon after the pair made an agreement where the 58-year-old would sell five corporate hospitality tickets for last year's AFL grand final.

Nixon denies the claim.
