He wrote: "Last night our family's worst nightmare was realised when our home was broken into and and burglarised while our babies were sleeping in their bedroom.
"The burglars were in our home for less than five minutes but in that time they took from us something more valuable than anything we had in our home… our sense of safety and security.
"This occurred during the final minutes of last night's match when they knew that we would not be home.
"My wife and I rushed home not knowing if our children were safe and unharmed.
