Three people will stand trial over the theft of sporting memorabilia from the home of Liverpool FC player Jerzy Dudek.
Burglars broke into the goalkeeper's home in Wirral, Merseyside last month and stole a number of items, including his 2005 Champions League Final medal and shirt.
Melanie Mackereth, 23, Rachel Mackereth, 26, and Colin Roberts, 32, all from Liverpool, have appeared at Wirral Magistrates Court charged with handling stolen goods.
They did not enter a plea and were bailed to appear at the same court on September 22 when they will be committed to a Crown Court for trial.
A fourth defendant, Martin Roche, 26, from Liverpool, pleaded guilty to handling the stolen goods at an earlier hearing.
He was bailed to be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on September 4.
The court heard goods stolen from Mr Dudek's house included Premiership and international shirts, designer watches and other personal items
