Classic, there was a great pic from last saturday where Rafa is giving instructions and Mourinho is just staring at him with a look on his face of "oH shit! should I be doing something"

If anyone has a copy its worth posting here

I'm sure I've seen a pic where someone has made Rafa look like the famous picture of Che Guevara, the one that appears on all the t-shirts. Can't find it anywhere though, anyone seen it?

isn't it nice how simply looking at rafa makes you smile

his little fat belly, cheeky smile. i love him.

"But I work for Liverpool, where I will carry on next season, and on this basis there is no point speculating any more.

"I'm happy at Liverpool because they have always treated me well and I want to have a lot more success there.

"The truth is that I'm still a young coach and life is long. I don't know where I could end up."

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo found it funny that arch-rival Martin had been trying to sweet-talk Benitez at an awards ceremony in Madrid on Monday.

He said: "Having Benitez here was like having a beautiful woman at a party and everyone wanting to talk to her."

Rafa has many fine qualities, but he's not often compared to a beautiful woman.

I would let Rafa have a go on my wife. That's how much he means to me.

We are lucky as fuck. The man has given us so much and will give us soo much more. We had a glimpse of the promised land in the treble season but this is the real deal my friends. Just sit back and enjoy the ride because it is going to be a good un.

Had the chance of meeting Rafa at the Lisbon airport after the Benfica away match. Asked him about the possibility of taking a pic with him, and he replied "for sure."

Typical Rafa, class as always. Great little memory that one.

Was fortunate to shake hands with the man at the recent Youth Cup Final at Anfield, felt like i'd shook hands with God himself. Didn't wash my hand for a while - I know, i know !! But it was Rafa Benitez you know..

Looks like Garstonite is the owner of Paco Lloret´s Rafa autobiography.

Just finished reading that book few days ago, was a great read and enjoyed it very much.

Great thread, and some fantastic photos!

The above one always cracks me up! lol. Rafa, he so embarrassed.

He's a quality guy. Humble, honest, and just brilliant. Rafa and Gerrard seem to have a mutual respect thing going on too, going by some of those pictures. Hopefully this partnership continues for a long time.

Quality quote:

"The other day I was surprised. I saw an old photo and I said to my wife..." His voice trails off as he flicks backwards and forwards through the relevant chapter. "Is the photo here? Yes, this one."

It's a shot of Real Madrid's Under-18 side from season 1986/87. He traces his finger from left to right across the players in the back row then their crouching team-mates at the front, and starts to recite. "I said to her: 1.82, 1.84, 1.82, 1.79, 1.87, 1.76, 1.88, 1.84, 1.86, 1.79, 1.68, 1.72, 1.74, 1.69, 1.78, 1.73, 1.68."

These are the individual heights, in metres, of a group of teenagers that he coached almost 20 years ago."

"i say to the players at half time, maybe if we escore, is different, and we escore... and is different".
