If you’re a West Ham fan then you know the legend that is the late Bobby Moore. Notoriously known as the England captain who won the World Cup in 1966 and forever one of the most loved and admired Hammers of all time.

Turns out that Moore insisted that he be the last player in the changing rooms to put his shorts on before a game. Moore would actually wait until everyone else was dressed before pulling his own shorts on.

Cristiano Ronaldo

The Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, is one of the most famous soccer players in the world, and he’s one the wealthiest too, with an estimated net worth of $280 million. But did you know he’s a bit superstitious? Turns out that if he’s traveling to a game by plane, then he insists on being the very first to disembark.

However, if he’s traveling by bus, he has to sit at the back and get off last. Also, when he approaches the pitch, he has to put his right foot onto the grass first. And finally, perhaps my favorite of his superstitions; he always does his hair at halftime, so that he doesn’t play both halves with the same hairstyle. Cray, cray wouldn’t you say?
