Who doesn't love Paul Gascoigne? Arguably the most beloved English talent the country has produced, and he's recalled another class story this time involving Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.
If the ex-Newcastle and Spurs ace isn't bringing in Ostrich's to training, then the mercurial winger is bantering with some of the biggest names in the game.
During a conversation with the Portuguese - aka 'The Special One' - and the former footballer, Mourinho proclaimed 'Gazza' as 'The Special One'.

But after appearing in some high-profile TV adverts while lauding 'Gazza's' exploits, he asserted; "If you are on an advert with that fucking big platinum credit card, I am telling you, you are the Special One."
What's more, during Mourinho's tenure in Italy with Inter Milan, the boss told Gascoigne he'd sort him out with some tickets for a home game.
"I went to the team hotel and said, 'Paul Gascoigne - Jose has left some tickets for me."

The receptionist would scurry through all the complimentary tickets but to his surprise none where under his name until he realised they could be filed with a different name. And they were;
"I was going mental and then I said, "Have a look and see if there's an envelope for The Special One - and there it was."
Brilliant!
