Mark Fish gets robbed (again)

Former FA Premiership defender Mark Fish was tied up and robbed after his home appeared on the UK TV show Footballers' Cribs, he has revealed.

The 31-year-old has become the second victim of raiders following an appearance on the MTV show, hosted by the England manager's girlfriend Nancy Dell'Olio.

The ex-Charlton Athletic player and ex-South Africa international was bound by four men who burst into his £1.5m mansion and stole jewellery worth £200,000, he told The Sun newspaper.

This will come as no great surprise to Charlton supporters who will remember he was regularly robbed of the ball by opponents last season.

At one stage in the campaign he became so fat and slow that the defence coach took to timing his training runs with a sun dial.
