Maidstone United defender Steve Watt recalls his time under the management of Jose Mourinho at Chelsea
Steve Watt celebrated the Premier League
title win with Chelsea in 2005
The magic of Jose Mourinho is playing its part in Maidstone
United’s promotion bid.
New signing Steve Watt was given his Chelsea debut by the
‘Special One’ in an FA Cup tie against Scunthorpe eight years
ago.
Centre-half Watt, who has joined United on an initial one-month
loan from Dover, will never forget his time working under one of
the world’s greatest managers.
Mourinho shaped Watt as a player and the Scottish centre-half,
27, is determined to help United to success in Ryman League
Division 1 South.
Watt, who lives in Maidstone with wife Caroline and their
four-year-old son, said: "It was an absolute dream to work under
Mourinho.
"You just wanted to play for him, it was as simple as that. He
built such a togetherness in the squad that you’d want to die for
each other."
