Liverpool to review security of players homes
Posted at 10:48am on 13 Dec 2007
The Liverpool Premier League football club will review the security of players' homes after captain and England midfielder Steven Gerrard became the latest squad member to be burgled while away on match duty.
Four men broke into Gerrard's home this week while the player was steering his team to a vital 4-nil Champions League win at Olympique Marseille that booked the Merseyside club into the knockout stages.
His wife Alex Curran was in the house at the time... Curran and another woman, who was in the house at the time, were shaken by the incident, but were not injured.
This year, the home of Liverpool's goalkeeper Pepe Reina was burgled as he helped the club reach last season's Champions League final.
Team mates Jerzy Dudek, Daniel Agger, Peter Crouch and Florent Sinama-Pongolle, as well as Everton's Andy van der Meyde, were burgled last year.
Last month, striker Dirk Kuyt suffered a break-in at his luxury home in Woolton while he was on international duty with the Dutch team.
A step in the right direction.
