The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast - Episode 39

Welcome to Episode 39 of The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast. On this week's episode we discuss the bizarre phenomenon of Football Superstitions - whether those are Fans, Players, Coaches, Owners or even Clubs.... Nick will readily admit that he has a few matchday rituals or superstitions and whilst Dom claims at the outset of the episode that his daughter Mia has a lot, he felt that he didn't have any - until by the end, he also realised that he too had LOADS..... We share some famous and some not so famous player, coach, owner and even club superstitions from the likes of; Johan Cruyff Lauren Blanc Kolo Toure Pepe Reina John Terry Former Spanish Coach, Luis Aragones Ivan Rakitic Giovanni Trappatoni Vincent Tan Real Madrid Kevin Keegan Barry Fry Rene Higuita Iker Casillas Paulo Di Canio and a few more..... We know that these superstitions and rituals bear absolutely ZERO correlation to what happens to your team in any game - but we still have them. Mad eh? So, what are your superstitions or rituals - how did they evolve, are they permanent or temporary depending on results? You do know that they are just bolloxs, but of course, they are YOUR bolloxs and THAT counts…...
