Injured Everton defender Phil Jagielka has been robbed at knifepoint while he was watching his team play on television.
The 27-year-old was watching his side play Hull City in the Carling Cup on Wednesday when three men burst into his home in Knutsford, North-West England.
He was threatened with a knife and forced to hand over jewellery and the keys to his Range Rover car, which was among a number of luxury cars in his driveway.
A spokeswoman for Cheshire police said: "Three men gained entry to a house in Knutsford.
"The homeowner was threatened with a knife and forced to hand over jewellery and the keys to his Range Rover car.
"Fortunately nobody was injured during the incident and the car was found abandoned a short distance away."
Jagielka is the 11th Merseyside footballer whose home has been robbed in recent years.
Following the robbery detectives said they were looking at a possible link with other brazen robberies, which have included raids on the houses of Liverpool players Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt, Pepe Reina and Lucas Leiva.
