How much does Lady Luck smile on Manchester United, Chelsea and Port Vale?

Pre-match routines, haircuts and lucky suits are all part of the folklore of football superstition. But how much difference can a lucky shin-pad really make?

With all the money Premier League footballers receive, how much would superstition cost, if proven to play a vital role in a player’s career?

'Gary Lineker, who was never booked in his career, never used to score during a warm-up, preferring to save the goalscoring for the match'

Some people believe that superstition doesn’t exist, that it is just an excuse if an athlete plays well or badly. But if a player has a good run could superstition play a part in that?

Many footballers have admitted to having a bizarre routine which they carry out before a match, and they believe will help bring them or the team luck.

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo gets his hair cut at the same hairdressers in Wilmslow, Cheshire, before every game; he has scored 33 goals already this season.

I'm not always superstisious,but on my way to all united games, I feel one must salute every magpie one see's on the way. 1 being bad luck, 2 being good and 3 meaning good fortune. I travel from North Wales, so imagine how many I see. Then on the way to the ground, I refuse to walk across any 3 grids,bad luck, and go out of my way to cross 2 grids being good luck. Apart fom this I dont really follow superstitions to much !

Not for me, you sow waht you reap. Before every Vale game I sing, passionatly, "The Wonder of You" and then we usually sing it a few times during the game! great escape seems to work! :) Goarn Vale! Vale Vale!

Not for me, Its all probability, chance and what you make. Like Utd, their not lucky because they have a excellent team. We are unlucky because the Football League is upside down ;) You reap what you sow!! But Vale will change this! GET YOUR 2008/2009 SEASON TICKTE!! ONLY £183(Less than £8 a game) AND 14-18 ONLY £89!! (LESS THAN £4 A GAME!!) GET DOWN VALE PARK AND SOON, WE'LL BE BEATIN UTD AT VALE PARK!! COME ON VALE!! Vale Vale Vale!!!
