10 weird superstitions in football

#2 Kolo Toure

Kolo Toure always insists on being the last player to come on to the field. He would wait for all his teammates to enter the pitch before he would join them. This came to light when he got yellow-carded in a Champions League game for Arsenal for entering the pitch without the referee’s permission. He was waiting for Gallas who was getting treated for an injury, and so didn’t get on even after the game started.

With Arsenal playing with lesser number of players, he came on without asking the referee.
