Top 10 infamous curses in football

#4 Just sprinkle some magic water

It took the Saints four months to register their first win at the St. Mary's

When Southampton migrated to St. Mary’s in 2001, they had a really tough time winning games. In fact, it took them four months to register their first win in the stadium – and it happened after a witch doctor sprinkled some holy water.

Cerridwen Dragonoak Connelly, the Pagan witch who lifted the curse, said: "I performed a ritual there and, because of my upbringings, I did it in Welsh. I performed a cleansing of the ground in Celtic tradition but athletes are a very superstitious bunch and I did a blessing for some positive energy and it has obviously worked."

After that, in the very next game, they beat Charlton in a comfortable fashion and warded off all the ill-feelings.
