SHAKEN Mark Fish told last night how he became the SECOND top footballer to be robbed after his home appeared on TV's Footballers' Cribs.
The ex-Charlton defender was tied up by four raiders who burst into the £1.5million mansion "” after it was featured on the MTV show.
The gang stole gems worth £200,000 last Friday night.
It came less than a fortnight after The Sun revealed how former England goalie Ian Walker was burgled following HIS appearance on the programme.
Ex-South African international Mark, 31, was attacked as he lay in his bed at Chislehurst, Kent.
Wife Loui, 32, was asleep with sons Luke, seven, and Zeke, four.
Mark, now an ambassador for the South African FA, said: "Loui had gone to the boys' room and I'd gone to bed as I was flying to Dubai next day.
"Suddenly this guy jumped on my back. He said, "˜For the sake of your children you'd better co-operate with us'. Then they stuffed a sock in my mouth and tied my hands behind my back."
The gang asked him where he kept cash and jewellery. Mark said: "I told them we had a safe and they took me to it.
"After they'd filled two boxes they tied me up again and left. It was an awful experience."
Mark partially untied himself and hopped to the boys' room.
Ex-model Loui said: "He was hysterical. The police asked if we'd done any recent photoshoots of our home "” then we remembered Footballers' Cribs."
Cops believe the thieves got in through a utility room window. A spokesman said they were probing any link to the show.
Mark asked for his fee for our interview to be given to charity.
