Premier League - Eighth Liverpool star burgled

Midfielder Lucas Leiva has become the eighth Liverpool player to get burgled in the last 18 months.

The Brazilian's home in Woolton, Liverpool, was raided on Tuesday night while he played a Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.

Lucas, 21, lost possessions including his Olympic bronze medal won in Beijing, jewellery and a collection of football shirts.

Acting detective chief inspector Peter Parry of Merseyside police said: "These items have significant personal importance to Mr Leiva and they were associated with some very cherished memories."

Steven Gerrard, Robbie Keane, Dirk Kuyt, Pepe Reina, Daniel Agger, Peter Crouch and Jerzy Dudek have all suffered break-ins since the start of 2007.

Robbers threatened Gerrard's wife Alex Curran and took jewellery during a raid on the Liverpool captain's home last December.

Last October, pictures of defender John Arne Riise's payslip appeared on the internet after it was stolen from his dustbin.
