It’s not like the list is long but some names are (un)surprisingly  missing. The self-acclaimed Special One has dropped some names of the players he has most enjoyed working with across his 15-year career as a manager.

‎Nigeria’s Mikel Obi and Ghana’s Micheal Essien (who used to call him Daddy) didn’t make it to the list. No sentiments! We all would have been shocked if John Terry, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard didn’t weren’t mentioned. Mourinho’s love for those 3musketeers knows no bounds.

‎Others include Alvaro Arbeloa, Marco Materazzi, Javier Zanetti and Xabi Alonso.
