BURGLARS ransacked the home of former Sheffield United captain Keith Curle as he and his family slept upstairs.
They broke into the home off Ecclesall Road South that the 44-year-old footballer shares with his partner Jermaine Smith, and daughters Molly, 14, and Macie, three.
The raiders escaped with a plasma TV, mobile phone, cash and keys to his £45,000 Audi Q7, with personalised number plate, parked outside. The car was later found in Maltby.
Keith, a coach at Crystal Palace, said: "I just feel anger at what happened - anger that these low lifes have been into my house and through our personal space. It's a violation.
"The fact they did this while the children were upstairs outrages me and I just wish I had heard them. But in this day and age, when you don't know what people are carrying, anything could have happened.
"I pride myself on working every day to provide for my family and it makes me angry to think these kind of people feel they can just walk in and steal from us."
