Flood has been speaking about the incident with BBC Scotland, and is able to laugh about it now over a decade later.
But it sounded like a very scary experience for the Dundee United midfielder
Flood recalls how he heard a noise outside his house, and went to investigate.
"Two minutes later a boy walks in with a big knife," the 31-year-old said.
"It wasn't his own knife, it was a knife he took from my kitchen."The thief, who was later sentenced to eight-years in prison for the crime, demanded Flood take the plasma television down from the wall.
"And then, in the middle of it, he goes: 'Oh, you're Willo Flood'," the midfielder continued.
"And I was like: 'Yeah, yeah'. "He goes: 'Don't take this personal, mate. I'm a big (Manchester) City fan, a big City fan."Flood was then made take the television out to his car. Flood ran to a neighbour's house while the thief, who was wearing a City jersey when he was eventually caught by police, left with his car, television and some other belongings. The midfielder, who has also played for Celtic, Aberdeen and Middlesbrough in his career, understandably called the experience "traumatic." He appears to be able to laugh about it now, and told the BBC about the bizarre incident.
