Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
Green was traditionally associated with death in fishing communities but to not have it on our playing shirts because of superstition would be incredibly silly. To suggest it would insult the memories of lost trawlermen is melodramatic in the extreme.
Other superstitions included women not doing the washing on sailing days, whistling on board, mentioning pigs and eating boiled eggs.
