Thieves raided the rower's home, in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, in the early hours of last Saturday, by throwing a brick through a window. They made off with jewellery and Sir Steve's three BBC Sports Personality of the year awards.

The sportsman, who won five gold medals for rowing, said he and his wife Ann were "devastated" by the burglary.

He said: "My Grandfather's retirement watch after 40 years on the buses is worth nothing to anyone but ourselves, as are my three BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards, which no one could sell on. Fortunately, all my Olympic medals are not kept at home.

"We would appeal to the intruders to please find some way of returning these items, together with the charm bracelets of my wife and her mother, which are again of greater sentimental rather than monetary value."

Det Sgt Mark Stevens, from Thames Valley Police Priority Crime team, said: "I would appeal to anyone that may have witnessed this incident or have any information that might help us in tracing these items, to please get in touch."

A spokesman for the BBC said: "We of course hope that the Redgraves will have their possessions returned. However, if the trophies are not recovered then the BBC will get replacements."

Anyone with any information should call 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
