Norfolk players
love chasing
sticks
NORFOLK Enchants manager Nicholas Millar has
revealed his players love to chase after sticks and are easily distracted
by bright lights.
Millar said he first noticed the behaviour when
goalkeeper Dwight Gardner returned a water bottle that had been thrown to
him.
"One of the coaches threw the bottle but it went over Dwight's
head. He chased after it, picked it up and brought it back, clearly very
keen for us to throw it again.
"We quickly moved on to sticks and
then tennis balls."
He added: "Sometimes I just pretend to throw the
stick. Phillip Ewing will run off but stop after a few yards and turn
around and look at me as if to say, 'where's it gone?'"
The players
are also transfixed by colours, unusual shapes and bright lights, the
manager said.
"We were in the changing room after a training
session and I noticed that quite a few of the boys were distracted by a
strange, fast-moving light on the wall.
"I then realised it was
just the reflection from my watch. Whenever I moved my wrist, their heads
would quickly follow. Now I use a torch."
Millar added: "They love
to sit in front of the television when Strictly Come Dancing is on.
"They are fascinated by the movement, and whenever Bruce Forsyth
is on screen Derek Keen will just crouch down and
howl."
