Mourinho throws a large medal in the crowd, no problem. Drogba throws a coin in to the crowd, and suddenly he is the villain !

It's a perverse world in today's Britain where a football 'one season wonder' league winner's medal can command ten times the value placed on a soldier's medal commemorating service at the Battle of Waterloo.
Yesterday's BBC Antiques Roadshow valued such a service medal at £2000 !
