The 26-year-old Aston Villa star was giving evidence at the trial of former agent, Ian Elliott, who allegedly siphoned cash from one of Downing's accounts.
Although he spent £45,000 on a home cinema, £6,000 on a wardrobe and £45,000 on a conservatory, he said the account should have contained far more money. Mr Elliott, 53, denies four counts of fraud at York Crown Court. The trial continues.
