Top 10 pre-game rituals of famous footballers

#6 Paul Gascoigne and his weird habit

A portrait of Paul Gascoigne of England and Middlesborough takes a breather

Paul Gascoigne more affectionately known as “Gazza”, is a former English international. He was an integral part of the England team that reached the semi-finals of the 1990 World Cup.

The Geordie recently made a bizarre claim that he used to touch Les Ferdinand’s Penis before every international game.

“He made mine look small, I went ‘Les, Les please, please let me have one f***ing hold of that thing’.

“So he let me have a hold of it. And I went out played a blinder and scored, right. I thought ‘f***ing brilliant’.”

The first time when Gascoigne reportedly touched Les Ferdinand’s genitals, he had a wonderful game and since then having a firm hold of Ferdinand’s “Private Parts” became his pre-game ritual.

“Every time we played for England, Les went ‘hurry up and get it over with Gazza'.

However, Les Ferdinand has rubbished the Gascoigne’s claim. But if it's true….this would be the weirdest pre-game ritual of all.
