REVEALED: Jose Mourinho's Premier League medal he threw into the crowd in 2006 actually belonged to ROBERT HUTH, claims the club's ex-pitch announcer - because the German had gone AWOL to force an exit from Stamford Bridge

Images of Jose Mourinho throwing his winners' medal into the crowd after guiding Chelsea to another Premier League title in 2006 have often circulated over the years.

But 16 years on, a former club insider has claimed that Mourinho did not chuck HIS prize into Stamford Bridge's Matthew Harding End - as it actually belonged to defender Robert Huth instead.

Neil 'Spy' Barnett, who worked as a pitch announcer and presenter at Chelsea for 32 years before being axed in 2018, debunked the famous incident after a photo of Mourinho throwing the medal resurfaced on Twitter.
