11 April 2012

This Barclays Premier League title winner's medal belonging to Jose Mourinho sold for £16,800 at Bonhams' auction in Chester today.

The Special One' hurled it into the Stamford Bridge crowd on 29 April 2006, the day Chelsea beat Manchester United 3-0 to earn successive League crowns.

It was the second such medal the Blues boss tossed into the crowd that day.

The first one he was presented with, plus his blazer, ended up in the stands, and he decided the second one he was given should go to the fans as well.

The first medal was auctioned by Bonhams for £21,600.
