Chelsea captain John Terry has revealed that he and his teammates have a "lucky" urinal in the Stamford Bridge changing rooms.
The tradition of using a specific urinal before games started when Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole were still at the club, but still carries on and sometimes means that the players are late into the tunnel.
"I am very superstitious and, for me, if we win a game then I add it on to my next superstition," Terry told The Sun. "Last season, as you can imagine, it built up to quite a lot.
"Me and Frank started it a long time ago; in the Chelsea dressing room we have three urinals and me and Lamps started weeing in one. We won the game and, for me, that was it, the next week there was a queue of me, Frank and Ash. The next week there were four of us and the week after there were five.
"And even now, up until today, you have Cesar Azpilicueta and Cesc Fabregas, we are all there in one big queue. A few months ago the club secretary said to me: 'we have had a few calls from the FA complaining because we have been going out late' and I didn't have the heart to tell him it was because we were all waiting to go for a wee."
After a poor start to the season, Chelsea are now 13 league games unbeaten under interim manager Guus Hiddink and sit 10th in the Premier League table.
