Feesh robbed by men with South London accents

Four burly men wearing balaclavas and gloves overpowered and robbed contracted Charlton defender Mark Fish at his home in Chislehurst just after midnight on Saturday morning. The only robber who spoke during the act is described by South Africa's News24.com as having 'a typical south-London accent.'

Former Premiership defender Mark Fish was tied up and robbed after his home appeared on TV show Footballers' Cribs. The 31-year-old has became the second victim of raiders following an appearance on the MTV show, hosted by the England manager's
girlfriend Nancy Dell'Olio. He was bound by the men who burst into his £1.5m mansion and stole jewellery worth £200,000.

Feesh had gone to bed, while in another room his wife Loui tried to get their two young sons to sleep. Fish said: "Suddenly this guy jumped on my back. He said, 'For the sake of your children you'd better co-operate with us'. "Then they stuffed a sock in my mouth and tied my hands behind my back."

Feesh continues to battle with a long-term knee injury which has effectively ended his playing career. The poet and red wine enthusiast has considered entering politics in his native South Africa.
