Hergo & Ajax: "Before every European match [Ajax' physiotherapist] Muller required to wear his lucky ski hat - and to supply [the team with] a special sausage, an osseworst from Hergo, the kosher butcher on the Beethovenstraat. Before Ajax's disastrous game against Dukla Prague, Muller's wife forgot to pack the lucky hat. And Hergo was closed, so there was no sausage either. Ajax lost 2-1, and to this day, some of the players blame Muller". Excerpt from the book Brilliant Orange, the neurotic genius of dutch football by David Winner. More about Dutch football.
