Middlesbrough defender Andrew Taylor is launching a website aimed at helping fellow players avoid being ripped off or getting bad service.

He came up with the idea after being dissatisfied with a company that installed an audio system in his home.

Platinum Players will feature companies that offer "luxury lifestyle products" - from cars and gadgets to hotels and restaurants - which have been vetted and deemed "trustworthy" for the stars.

The UK's 4,000 professional footballers will be sent log-in details for the invitation-only site.
