Dusan Tadic breaks silence after fighting off armed gunmen in horrific robbery

Former Southampton star Dusan Tadic was lucky to escape serious injury after fighting off gun-toting thieves who tried to rob him outside his house in Amsterdam.

Tadic, the 33-year-old Serbian winger who is captain of Ajax, refused to surrender when armed thugs pounced on him as he returned from a local restaurant earlier this month. He decided not to inform his team-mates of the drama as they prepared to travel to meet Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

But he has now spoken about the incident, which saw him pull a crash helmet off one of the robbers when they came to blows while his wife and three young children were inside.
