Gerrard hires ex-SAS to guard home
England star Steven Gerrard has hired a crack team of former SAS soldiers to protect his family after a terrifying raid.
The 27-year-old Liverpool captain took drastic action after his wife Alex Curran was threatened at their £4.5million home while he was playing in France.
The security men, whose regimental motto was Who Dares Wins, are now guarding Gerrard's home around the clock.
Gerrard was told of the robbery at the end of a Champions League game against Marseille.
Alex, 25, was still in a state of shock when her husband arrived back home in the early hours.
The player was clearly upset the next day when he talked about his wife's ordeal.
He said he was just relieved that no one was hurt but friends said he was angry his home had been raided while he was away.
