Shirt Numbers and superstitions

[micknick]

Was just thinking about superstitions and if anyone has any- Im playing in my football teams cup final on Sunday and Ive got a few 'things' that I do.

I always wear the number 11 shirt, I used to wear 8 but one day I had to wear 11 and I scored a hat trick. I also wear the same pants (they are cleaned) and also have a ritual of drinking a can of redbull before a game and a bottle of lucozade sport during it.

Does anyone else have any 'things' that they do????

We've got a little lad who watches us every week, if we need a drink he runs round and gives it to us! Slave labour really but he loves it!

I used to have 2 superstitions: always wear number 6 or 16, and always lace up left boot first.

Still do the second, but a few years ago (and well into the veteran leagues) I was forced to wear a different number (I think 14) and promptly scored a hat-0trick before half time - playing as a central defender. So since then I've not been too bothered about shirt numbers.

Still lace the left boot first, though.

Hey, I have superstitions about Everton and I do not play just a mere supporter.
