      Sorry for posting a link from talkaloadofbull.com, but I'm sure that this is not speculation, but a fact.

      Roma’s John Arne Riise Has Champions League Medal Stolen
      The Norwegian is shocked that someone has stolen the symbol of his European triumph with the Reds...
      12 Jun 2009 15:01:46
      Roma full-back John Arne Riise was stunned to find that, while on international duty with Norway, his apartment in Oslo had been broken into and all his medals stolen.

      Taken from his residence was his coveted Champions League winner's medal, which he earned with Liverpool in 2005 after helping the Reds defeat AC Milan in Istanbul.

      "I am truly sorry," he explained to Aftenposten.

      "That medal is the most important of my career, I struggled and worked all my life for it, and now it is no more. I'd rather it had been my TV."

      Commenting on the matter of the stolen awards, which also include an FA Cup winner's medal, the 28-year-old hopes that whoever stole his prizes will eventually return them.

      "I don't think a medal like that is easy to sell on the market. I hope they decide to return the stolen property," he concluded.

      This is not the first time Riise has been a victim of theft, during his spell in England the former Monaco man had his car stolen.

      Feel sorry for him, I hope that whoever the pr**k who stole it return it asap and gets found out. This is his treasure that he fought for in his life, earned for. He deserves it and he has to get it back. Chins up Riise.

      Sad indeed,hope he gets it back asap but what is that comparison with TV all about.Seems Riise enjoys desperate housewives when he is not playing.I though he was into golf or has that changed after a certain game with Bellamy   ;)

      That must be awful for a player losing something as special as that. I hope he gets it back.

      Having said that though, if the medal does never get returned, he'll know himself what fantastic achievement he made and surely that's great enough isn't it.

      Hope he gets it back. He was fantastic for us and deserved his medals.

      It won't be easy to sell a CL winners medal, though. It'd obviously either fake or stolen.

      Bad news and I hope he gets his medals back.

      It seems like trouble follows him around though, eh.

      Those Norwegians REALLY want to be like Scousers don't they.
