Former England international Ian Wright's MBE was among prized possessions taken from his home by an armed gang.
The ex-Arsenal striker's wife was held at knifepoint during the attack at their home in St John's Wood, northwest London, while he was working as a World Cup pundit for ITV in Brazil.
He is now back at home after arriving at Heathrow Airport on Thursday.
Wright described his family's ordeal, saying it left him "really upset and angry".
He told The Sun: "There was a knock on the door - it was around 9.15pm, not even dark outside, so Nancy felt safe answering.
"As soon as she opened the door, they barged in, four of them wearing masks and holding Stanley knives.
"Next thing they were holding a knife to her throat and yelling at her to show them where our safe is."
The couple's two children were asleep in a separate room while all this was happening, Wright said.
Ian Wright's home in northwest London He told the newspaper that the men threatened to cut off his wife's fingers and then do the same to his children as the gang became "louder and more desperate".
"She was even physically dragged upstairs as they thought the safe was up there," he said.
"Then they dragged her back down and forced her to hand over the key.
"She was begging them to stop shouting - she was saying 'I'll open the safe so long as you stop pushing me around and yelling'.
"They were out of control and hysterical - Nancy was calm."
Other items taken in the burglary included cash and a number of rare watches owned by Wright.
Police are carrying out house-to-house inquiries and are reviewing CCTV.
Detective Chief Inspector Mick Gornall, of the Metropolitan Police, said yesterday: "We are trying to trace these four men, and I'd ask anyone who may know anything to get in touch with my team and help us.
"Fortunately no one was injured during the burglary, but it is still very frightening to have people force their way into your home and threaten you."
