On this day in 2004, José Mourinho coined one of the most iconic phrases in PL history.
The former Man Utd boss was nicknamed 'The Special One' during his time in England after calling himself just that during a press conference following his switch from Porto to the Blues in 2004.
'Please, don't call me arrogant. Because what I am saying is true, I am European champion so I am not one of the bottle.'
'I think I'm a special one.'
The rest, they say, is history.

The Special One 1. Helped Chelsea Win 3 League Title + Tons Of League Cups & FA Cups (Ghost Goal Ruins Everything) 2. Did An Unthinkable By Winning ALL European Trophy 2/3 Years Into His Managerial Career WITH PORTO 3. Won A Treble With A Team That's Being In Their Lowest Form Possible (at the time & i know the team is full of talents) That IS INTER 4. Got Man United Their Best Season (and I'm predicting) In The First 10 Years Of Post-Ferguson Era 5. Win The La Liga With Madrid (Barca Was Dominating Back Then) With A Total Goal Difference Of 100+ Every Club He's Join, He Made A BIG Impact Truly Is A Special One
