Man charged over robbing Gerrard's home

British police charged a man yesterday over the 2007 burglary of the home of Liverpool and England footballer Steven Gerrard, an officer said.

Gerrard's wife Alex Curran was left shaken after coming face-to-face with four masked burglars at the couple's luxury home, police said at the time.

Curran was unhurt in the incident which took place as her husband was away playing in Liverpool's Champions League victory at Marseille.
