SUPERSTITIOUS STEVE A Rik's place exclusive Sadly Steve Watson was sold to Villa for a paltry £3.8 million by Ruud Gullit in 1998. He was a good player and is sadly missed on Tyneside. Since leaving Tyneside "Wor Stevie" has not had much luck. We think we know why..... The thing is, Steve Watson was quite superstitious. However Aston Villa's manager John Gregory doesn't believe in superstitions and has forbidden any of his players to perform "superstitious gobble di gook". Big mistake Mr Gregory. Stevie needs the luck that his former superstition brought to both him and his former club and so do you and your floundering team. Remember the days when Newcastle were on top of the league? Keegan got most of the praise for the teams success but one of the most influencing factors behind the teams greatness was down to superstitious Steve. For 12 months after he left Newcastle we can reveal that Stevie Watson was in fact. A closet " Hedge trimmer." In an exclusive interview he recalls " when I was still living with my parents in North Shields, they wouldn't let me off with chores around the house, just because I was a budding superstar. On Saturdays I would get up early and do some jobs in the garden. One of these jobs was trimming the hedge. After a few months I soon realised that if I didn't trim the hedge then we would not win that day. I have always done this whenever possible .The only times that I can't do it is if we are staying say in London before a game. Inevitably I find that we rarely win when this happens."
