CURSE OF THE VETCH

SWANSEA fans have often cursed the performances of their side through the years – but could the club’s rollercoaster history be down to evil spirits?

Celebrity physic Uri Geller claimed he could feel the presence of black spirits lurking in their former Vetch Field home in 2001. Michael Jackson’s spoon-bending buddy also insisted the mysterious presence was the reason why Tich Evans, Swans star of the 1920s, committed suicide at the ground.

The club took his words seriously, hiring Kenyan dancers to perform a voodoo act on the pitch – but the curse won as the ritual was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.
