Royston Drenthe - the former Real Madrid and Everton player who has quit football for rap - recalls the time he left Jose Mourinho 'p****d off'

Royston Drenthe, the former Real Madrid and Everton midfielder who has retired from football for a rap career, has recalled a time he left Jose Mourinho 'p****d off' during his stint at the Bernabeu.

The now 29-year-old was a Madrid player for five years, from 2007 until 2012, but failed to impress Mourinho when he became manager in 2010.

Mourinho sent him on loan to Hercules, who were last in La Liga, and Drenthe believes his boss was not happy when he returned after a dispute.
