Would have been even spookier if Wade Elliott was wearing the no 13 shirt, or their keeper Brian Jensen (who wears 12)
ALSO....
It was the 13th final at New Wembley.
If you add all the numbers in the Burnley squad together, and keep adding until you are left with a 2 figured number, it is 13.
13 million tons of concrete went into making New Wembley.
Wembley as a Scrabble score gets you 13 points, if you use blank tiles for the first two letters.
Owen Coyle was born on the 14th day of the month, and that's only 1 more than 13. He has also played for 1 country, and managed three clubs - 1 and 3 - 13!!!!!
Chris Eagles' hair is 13 inches long.
Brian Jensen wears size 13 boots. And his house number is 39 - 13x3!!!!
Nick Montgomery has a fear of the number 13. If ever we were in a match where the score totalled 13 he would have to stand on one leg until another goal was scored, like David Shepherd the cricket umpire did when the score was 111. (A Nelson.)
Count the letters in "Kevin Blackwell". How spooky would it be if there was one less letter - 13!!!!
Same with "Trevor Brooking", and we know he hates us. Spooky.
Paddy Kenny doesn't suffer from Triskaidekaphobia. Just a piss-poor choice in mates and wives. "Mates and wives" - 13 letters!!!!!!!
If there was one more fact in this list, there would be 13 of them!!!!
Some of these facts might not strictly be true. Please don't sue me.
