QPR boss Neil Warnock has revealed he is plagued by pre-match superstitions.
In fact, the Hoops supremo reckons he has ‘hundreds’ of rituals including a latest fear of changing his razor blade.
Warnock also has an abject horror of seeing a single magpie,insisting it spells bad luck for his team.
But the same single blade has removed all managerial stubble since Rangers lost 3-1 to Spurs on October 30.
After that humbling the old one went into the bin, but the new one has provided a daily shave for the last three-and-a-bit weeks following the team’s spirited defence against Manchester City and the 3-2 win at Stoke last Saturday.
For a man who supports Sheffield United, aka the Blades, his skin could still be in for a rough ride if the wins pile up.
“Fortunately, with these new-fangled things, I’m hoping it will last as long as our next bad defeat,” he revealed.
Warnock will also wear the same, suit, shirt, tie and training kit at Norwich tomorrow (Saturday) as he has for the same period, and revealed that like celebrity cook Delia Smith – he is a dab hand in the kitchen, especially when making scones.
“I have been known to do bits and pieces in the kitchen, and my wife Sharon has used the book Delia sent us,” he said.
“To one of my favourite football managers”, is what the Canaries joint-majority shareholder inscribed, with Warnock cheekily sending her a copy of his autobiography as a thank-you.
