A FORMER Scotland footballer was robbed of three watches worth £20,000 in an armed raid last week, his brother has revealed.

Ex-Watford winger Ikechi Anya and his mum were at home when two men armed with a Taser and a hammer broke into a property in Kidlington, near Oxford, and assaulted and threatened them.

One of the watches stolen last Friday was a Chopard Classic Racing Superfast with the Watford FC badge and "April 2015" engraved on it - marking the team's promotion to the English Premier League.

A woman in her 60sbelieved to be Ikechi's mum suffered minor injuries but did not require hospital treatment.

The thieves - one white and one mixed race - were wearing motorbike helmets and dark clothes and one was carrying a rucksack.

They escaped on the black motorbike they arrived on.
