CLARET BLAKE'S IN LUCK.Byline: ALAN NIXON ROBBIE BLAKE Robert James "Robbie" Blake (born March 4 1976 in Middlesbrough, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Burnley F.C in the English Football League Championship as a striker. He began his career with Darlington F. scored the wonder winner against Manchester United - despite changing his superstitions. Burnley's Blake (above) is the first to admit he does not like to change his habits, but a couple went out of the window before the biggest night of his life. Blake was made to alter his dressing room spot by the arrival of new boy Andre Bikey, and he also swapped his usual red underpants for white ones. The Clarets forward, 33, admitted: "I'm ridiculous about these things, and when you look at them it's pathetic pa·thet·ic also pa·thet·i·cal adj. 1. Arousing or capable of arousing sympathetic sadness and compassion: "The old, rather shabby room struck her as extraordinarily pathetic" . "But I have the same routines and superstitions for every game. I drive to the ground down the same road and put my stuff on the same peg. "But before the United match I found out big Andre had taken my spot. I saw the size of him, so I just said, 'OK, I'm ready for a change'. "And I decided to wear white underpants, I didn't want to have red ones against United of all teams." Team news & line-ups: See your Mania Mania ancient Roman goddess of the dead. [Rom.
