Grobbelaar says he has used juju to break Liverpool title jinx

Former Liverpool and Zimbabwe goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar has told a strange tale about how he used juju to break the side’s title drought.

Speaking to The Daily Mirror he took it back to 1992:

I had a testimonial in 1992 and I was sponsored by Zambezi lager and they sent a witchdoctor with the lager.
He went around on the posts and put his goat’s tail, put his water on the posts of both sides, got the microphone and said, ‘If you don’t have the jungle man Bruce Grobbelaar here, you won’t win the title’.
Of course, I went back to South Africa, went to Canada, came back. Remember when Stevie G slipped? One night game I went down to the Kop end, I peed on the posts.
That breaks the spell. I got thrown out. I didn’t do the Anfield Road and we finished second.”

And then Grobbelaar spoke about how he has gotten it right this time:

Last season I played in a corporate game here, we were in the dressing room and the guy said ‘you have to do the business today’..
I said, ‘okay’. I took a water bottle, poured the water out, peed in the bottle, came back.
First-half at the Kop end, I splashed it all over the posts. Second-half, I came down to the Anfield Road end and splashed it all over the posts. End of last season.

Oh Bruce…
