Bristol City's resident artist and philosopher has admitted to not speaking to anyone before kick-off. as well as waiting for the urinals to empty of players before he enters and spits on the wall.

Pederho ll Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 James also feels compelled to throw at last one weak shot into his own net per match. This is a superstition that he has always adopted throughout his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 James always signs autographs Every time I have seen someone ask for his autograph, he always points to his wrist, without saying anything. I have always took it to mean that now is not the time, but I have never actually seen him sign aanything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 David signs autographs after the game always. But beforehand you have to be lucky! Doesn't seem to hang around long when being booed off. to be fair all players make some time during match day to sign autographs, wether it be when they arrive. During the warm up, leaving the pitch after 90 mins or sometime after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Well clearly is his superstition is not to talk to anyone before kick off then it would explain why he doesnt sign autographs or talk to fans. He doesnt deny that his superstitions are border line ridiculuos but who are we to suggest that one of the best English keepers in recent time isnt allowed to follow his superstitions?

beaverface Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 David signs autographs after the game always. But beforehand you have to be lucky! At the last home game against Reading I was stood about 2feet away from the tunnel when DJ was signing autographs for kids. Think he does sign them so long as it doesn't interfere with his "zone".

Classy. Not how I would best describe him. With that many superstitions it probably explains why he cant catch a ball - too many questions going round in his vacuous head!

II Wurzel II Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Neil Warnock: "During a winning run, the QPR gaffer will stop his car at every set of traffic lights on his way home. Even if they are green". Should be nicked for careless driving with that one, that aint no "superstition" thats a "Dick'ead". What happens if he stops at a green light and some kid crosses the road and gets ran over by an oncoming car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
