Former Tottenham and Liverpool striker Ronny Rosenthal has been threatened at knife-point after six masked robbers broke into his 4million north London home while his family were sleeping.
Rosenthal was attacked by the raiders who were looking to steal designer watches from his 4m property, reports the Daily Mail.
It is believed the thugs broke into his home in Cricklewood, which he shares with his wife, at 1am and the he was subjected to a terrifying ordeal.
A neighbour of the former footballer told the Evening Standard: He told me that they were physically abused and threatened with machetes and horrible stuff like that.
The raiders were in and out in five minutes ... these people know what they're doing. The family are fine now, they are a strong family but it wasn't pleasant.
"All you can do is look at your security and be alert but you just never know. If they get in just give them what they want and let them go.
We have private security who are brilliant for just 20 a week. There are just too many pressures on the police."
