Ciao, ragazzi

I understand that Andre Iniesta listens to The Beatles seminal track "Do You Want To Know A Secret" as a celebration following every home win by Malaga, his boyhood club.

Does anyone else know any similar celebratory traits by any leading sports stars?

    Robert Plant is a big Wolves fan. Looking forward to the day he can belt out 'Celebration Day'. :D
    We have had too many results that leave us 'Dazed and Confused' :cry:

    Examples please.

    I also heard this morning that John McGuinness refuses to ride at the TT unless "Cannonball" by the Breeders is played at exactly 10 am on each morning.

    I must agree with him on this one as it is utterly fantastic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpoqzt2EHaA

    Germain Chapsley likes to listen to this when he records his fastest time
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    When TDV was competing (some of you may have seen her on the telly) we always used to listen to Ode to Joy before every race. When she won (which was quite a lot - some of you may have seen some of her races) we used to play The Smiths first self titled album and drink grappa. Bit of a tradition.

    Surprised she doesn't find The Smiths a bit uplifting for her personality to be honest.

    I've always thought the Beatles were shite, does this help any? :?

    Not all, but completely true statement.

    If they were so good why did Oasis have to rewrite all their songs?
