Some footballers have to put a certain boot on first, some have to listen to a certain song in the build-up, but perhaps there are not many to do with having one shoelace shorter than the other!
Fulham's Harry Wilson is a notable exception.
After again scoring on Wednesday, this time to seal a 2-1 victory over Chelsea, Wilson confirmed his new superstition had occurred after splitting a lace in a heavy challenge earlier in the season.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Wilson said: "The kitman at half-time only had one pair of laces left, but I think that's when my good run started.
"I feel I can't change now."
Wilson has seven goals and four assists in the Premier League since the beginning of November. also bagging a hat-trick for Wales in that time against North Macedonia.
His 81st-minute right-footed winner against Chelsea was the first Premier League goal he had scored with his weaker foot.
"The lace in my right boot is a little bit longer than the one on the left," he explained.
"When you get into a good moment of good form, scoring, assisting and the team is doing well, I like to keep everything the same."
