Always steps onto the pitch right foot first. Sits in the same seat on the team bus. Has a specific pre-match hairstyle routine.
Had to be the last player out of the tunnel. Once, William Gallas was still getting treatment — Touré waited so long the second half started without him.
Never shot during warmup. Believed it used up his goals. Scored 48 goals for England.
Used the same urinal, parked in the same spot, sat in the same seat, listened to the same Usher album before every game. Had over 50 pre-match rituals.
Kissed Fabien Barthez's bald head before every game at the 1998 World Cup. France won. He stopped in the final. France still won.
Gave away his match shirt to a fan after a goal drought. Scored in the next game. Spent weeks trying to get the shirt back.
