A former Arsenal soccer player has revealed he chose to change his jersey number on the advice of a psychic.
Nicklas Bendtner is a Danish footballer who plays as a striker. In the summer of 2009, while wearing number 26, he decided to change it and choose 52. This choice, at first glance innocuous, was dictated by a clairvoyant.
He explains:
“I switch from the No 26 jersey to No 52 jersey because of a professional fortune-teller my mum knows. Or a clairvoyant, as she calls herself.
She thinks 26 is a s*** number for me, because 2 + 6 = 8, which is my so-called ‘bad number’. She’s found this out… somehow. According to the friend, 7 is my lucky number. My strength number. Unfortunately, 7 is already taken. And 25 (2 + 5 = 7) was Adebayor’s, which means it’s all tied up with bad karma.
We settle for 52 in the end. When it’s made official, everyone thinks it’s a hint about my new wages: £52,000 a week.”
The footballer has had a brilliant career and it is not certain that the advice of this clairvoyant had any influence. He has played for clubs as Arsenal, Juventus (in Italy) and Nottingham Forest.
