Chelsea Ace Robbed Of £8k Watch And Almost Stabbed In Front Of His Girlfriend

A teenage Chelsea starlet was robbed of an £8,000 “James Bond” watch by muggers who threatened to stab him in front of his sobbing girlfriend, a court heard.

Two thugs held up George Nunn, 18, while he was walking with Libby Thompson.

They demanded the under-19 forward hand over his Omega Seamaster watch, worn by 007 in every Bond film.

He offered them £1,000 for it back and, while at a cashpoint, Libby called cops to Mayfair, central London, within minutes.

One robber escaped.
