New boots change Murray's luck
11:00am Wednesday 17th March 2010 in
Superstitious Glenn Murray reckons a change of footwear might have helped him enjoy a change of fortune at Withdean.
The Seagulls striker broke his 12-month home goal famine to send his side towards their win over Brentford.
He revealed: “I changed my shin pads and my boots so everything was new. I had to change something and it worked.
“They were pretty worn out but, yes, it was a bit of a superstition thing as well.
“Something had to change here, didn’t it?
“There were a few other things I did but they don’t need to be mentioned!”
Murray’s magical moment came as he headed in a superb Elliott Bennett free-kick.
He admitted: “I didn’t know much about it. I just got my head on it and got clattered, I think by the keeper.
“I looked up and saw the ball in the net, which was quite a relief.”
Albion chairman Tony Bloom is at the Cheltenham Festival today to watch his horse, Little Josh, run in the 2.40.

For one thing, I doubt there'd be a new stadium.

And good luck to the chairman's Little Josh - what a fantastic benefactor Tony B is. Can you imagine the pickle we'd be in without him. For one thing, I doubt there'd be a new stadium.

Claude, you are the first person to tell people when they should lighten up. So let me be the 2nd person to tell you to lighten up today. If it freshens him up then what's the problem? This is not about god, a higher purpose or lots of very impressive words to show how utterly intellectual you are. This is about a player finding a way to give himself a fresh mentality for the good of the football club.

For the first time in a long time Murray actually looks like he is happy and wants to be here.
Perhaps the arrival of Poyet and several talented players has shown him we are really progressing as a club and that promotion to the championship next year is a realistic target.
