After watching Benfica lose their 8th European cup final in row I read about the Guttman curse which got me thinking about other football superstitions. Gary Lineker The former England striker never took a shot at goal during his match warm ups because he didn't want to waste a goal. Then, if he wouldn't manage to score in the first half he would change his shirt. If the bad run extended, and he was failing to score, he would resort to getting a haircut. Alan Shearer Would have to put his left sock and left boot on first then right sock and right boot last. France Insisted on kissing Bartez (ex-Man Utd keeper) on the head - they won the wrold cup. Can you guys think of any good ones? Or maybe you have your own ritual superstition before watching a Swans game? (my mate wears the same shirt he wore to the Wembley play-off final - and has never washed it since - in fairness when he does wear it we have never lost, keep telling him to wear it every game but to kindly sit at the other end of the room!)
