Pre-game rituals are normally odd little quirks that get a sportsman settled before a game, but this one may just be too far.
Paul Ince never put his shirt on until he left the tunnel, Rafael Nadal has his water bottle rituals and Michael Jordan famously had lucky North Carolina shorts.

The video below shows the extent of Henderson’s superstition, and gives a rather baffling insight into the odd world of the NFL.
