Socceroos(注：澳大利亚国家男子足球队的专有名词） midfielder Vince Grella has been robbed at knifepoint in a home invasion in England.
Masked thugs pulled a knife on the Blackburn Rovers player and stole jewellery and watches before escaping in his BMW four-wheel-drive, English newspaper The Sun reported.
Police say Grella was not hurt and his wife and children were not at home at the time.
The newspaper reported that Grella is the 17th highly paid footballer in the past three years to be attacked by armed robbers in England's north-west.
