Sheffield United footballer Sander Berge had jewellery worth £100,000 stolen from his house - just a day before scoring in the Blades' vital Championship play-off semi-final.
The Norwegian midfielder's property, based in the affluent Ranmoor area of Sheffield, was targeted by two offenders who got in through a window. The crooks escaped with watches, necklaces and other valuables with a combined value of £100,000.
A statement from South Yorkshire Police said: "Police were called at around 1.40pm on Friday, May 13, to reports of a burglary. It is reported that two unknown offenders gained entry to the property through a window and stole a quantity of jewellery. Enquiries are ongoing to locate those involved."
