SUPERSTITIONS

Paul Ince launches scathing attacks on Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba

Paul Ince would put his shirt on went he entered the pitch and had to be last out of the tunnel.

John Terry had to use the same urinal before every match (home matches??) and if someone was using it he would have to wait his turn. He would sit in the same bus seat for away matches and listen to the same CD en route to the stadium. He always tied a band three times on his socks!

David James, as well as being a "painter", would spit on the toilet wall in the (home) dressing room and presumably would tip the cleaner? Modern Art?

Laurent Blanc would kiss team mate goalkeeper Fabian Bartez on his bald head before the kick off.

Bobby Moore had to be last putting his shorts on before leaving the changing room. Martin Peters would drop his once Moore had thought he was safe!

Johan Cruyff at Ajax would slap goalkeeper Gert Bals in the stomach and then spit his chewing gum into the opposition's half before the kick off. Well I suppose it might have kept him from choking?

Gary Lineker would never shoot into the goal during the warm up, for fear of "using up his goals".

Neil Warnock on a winning run would stop at every traffic light on the way home, even it was on green!

Gennaro Gattuso before each World Cup game in 2006 sat on the lavatory and read Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It explores the human psychology in 19th Century Russia. It did the trick, Italy won!
