Jose Mourinho
Portuguese - Coach
Born: January 26, 1963

I was an 18-year-old lad playing in a Scottish League Cup final at Hampden in front of 60,000 against Celtic. That's an experience I will never forget.

James Maddison

Best atmosphere I ever played in was at Celtic Park in the UEFA Cup for Liverpool.

Michael Owen

I played the 1980 UEFA Cup final for Borussia Monchengladbach against Eintracht Frankfurt, who had the legendary South Korean Cha Bum-kun as their forward. He was the face of Frankfurt then. He had pace, great technique, was a great dribbler, and scored goals. And most importantly, he was the ultimate team man.

Lothar Matthaus

I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

Alan Hansen

Someone on the Scottish side of the family got me one and I never took it off. I would be down the country park playing in a Celtic strip in England.

Oliver Burke

If you are not a good team, you will never get to the final day of the Premier League season or the final of the FA Cup.

Peter Schmeichel

My arrival at Porto wasn't easy and I had some difficulties. I spoke the same language but I felt very lonely. Two months later I caught tuberculosis yet at the time no doctor at Porto knew for sure what was wrong with me. I trained and played with the B team.

Thiago Silva

That makes me think of the 2002 World Cup Final above all else. Nobody thought at the time that our team would get through to the Final against Brazil. We should remember that this summer.

Angela Merkel

When we played at Celtic Park for Bayern in the Champions League it was unbelievable and I think all our players said the same thing afterwards. The atmosphere was just totally unique. I’ve played in lots of big games and stadiums but I’ve never witnessed fans making that much noise in 90 minutes.

Owen Hargreaves

I knew off by heart the names of the Real Madrid team that played Liverpool in the European Cup final of 1981.

Rafael Benitez

We'll have more football later. Meanwhile, here are the highlights from the Scottish Cup final.

Gary Newbon

I played in an FA Cup final for Aston Villa and the manager went negative, sitting everyone behind the ball against Chelsea.

Paul Merson

I won the title three times with Ajax; I played in the Champions League final and won the league title with Atletico. I have also played in the World Cup.
