Footballer’s mansion raided despite living nowhere near Liverpool

Darren Fletcher’s mansion

At around 9pm last night, Darren Fletcher’s gigantic house in Bowdon, Greater Manchester was burglarised by a gang of naughty thieves.

The intruders threatened a women at the house - who may or may not have been Fletcher’s girlfriend Helen Grice - but had left by the time police arrived. It is currently unknown what, if anything, was stolen, or if weapons were used during the incident. The robbers struck just a few hours after Fletcher headed out to Italy to prepare for tonight’s Champions League bout with Internazionale.

The midfielder of course isn’t the first Premier League star to suffer a home invasion while playing away - Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt, Pepe Reina, Jerzy Dudek, Daniel Agger, Lucas Leiva and Peter Crouch have all suffered a similar fate while playing with Liverpool. Shola Ameobi also called police when to report several items missing from his bedraggled home, but realised he was just a messy bastard.
