Football superstitions

What's the strangest thing you've done or worn for fear of jinxing your team if you don't?

I've got a Liverpool 1984 European Cup final replica shirt that I got when I went to Anfield for the 3-1 victory over Olympiakos. I wore it on the Kop that night and have worn it for every Champions League game since then. The trouble is, I haven't washed it for fear of jinxing things and after the Chelsea game there's a big Guinness stain down the front that someone managed to spill in all the excitement. So I'm going to have to go out like a scruff on Wednesday to help the Reds win their 5th European Cup.

We've got two lucky Everton mugs in the house, about 8 cups are consumed from them every match day. it's worked well so far!

There's three evertonians in the house, and whenever all three of us wear our jerseys, we lose. One of them's was unlucky, so we've replaced it!

And also, we always wish Liverpool well until our game is finished

I have three Barcelona key rings that must be in my presence everytime I watch them play. I also have a pin that I wear for every game. Sad. I pray too.

in my view football is not about superstitons and all that lark its about the luck on the day. its one of those things that you cannot help even if you think you are the biggest fan!!!! look at united and arsenal yesterday(fa cup) united were all over them and arsenal got all the luck on the day!! thats football!!!!!!!!!

wheres me jumpa

just slightly off topic but in regard to players superstitions.

has anyone noticed rio ferdinand when he is walking out from the tunnel and onto the pitch. he seems to take a few slow steps and then a jump. its kinda weird looking when he does it because he looks like he is trying to do one of wacko jackos moves.

anyone know where and why this orignated?

I've seen this two.
A lot of goalies have superstitions, like weird ones, like favorite gloves etc.

I honastly believe if I don't see the game live we will loose/draw.
I've missed 4 games this year and we've lost/drawn em, including yesterday
Puts a lot of pressure on me tbh
