Chelsea fan to earn £20,000 thanks to Mourinho

A Chelsea fan is set to earn over £20,000 thanks to former manager Jose Mourinho.

The Daily Mail says a Chelsea fan who pocketed Mourinho's Premier League winner's medal stands to make more than £20,000 after putting it up for auction.

Company director Sebastian Kayll, 37, grabbed the souvenir after the coach threw it into the crowd as Chelsea celebrated their second successive title against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in 2006.

When asked about his medal-chucking, Mourinho said at the time: "The medal was for everybody but I think the person who got it is a lucky guy who goes home with a fantastic memory or goes to eBay and makes a fortune."
