Ashley Cole was the victim of a terrifying knifepoint robbery after a gang broke into his home in Fetcham, Surrey, in January 2020, a court heard on Monday.
As reported by the Mirror, the jurors were told that the 40-year-old had his hands tied behind his back whilst one attacker suggested: "Let's cut his fingers."
The court heard that the ex-England and Chelsea star and now first team coach at Everton also had his hands sprayed with Febreze in a bizarre attempt to destroy DNA evidence. The group - believed to be up to six men - demanded jewellery and watches before fleeing the scene when the police arrived.
