better than Reina's? (from today's fiver)

"Six hours before kick-off at Anfield and before I can even think about the game, I have to get to a petrol station. After getting into the car, I turn the engine on and look at the fuel gauge. It is almost full. I still need petrol, though, so I head to the same garage that I always go to when Liverpool are at home, a small filling station on Queens Drive that is almost exactly halfway between my home in South Liverpool and the stadium. I get there, open the petrol cap and begin to refuel. I am only at the pump for 20 seconds or so and the tank is full so I go in to pay. The cashier gives me a bit of a funny look. To be fair, I cannot blame him. I have just pulled on to his forecourt, queued up for five minutes behind other motorists and all for ?8 worth of petrol, just so my tank is full to the brim. He does not know it but I do the same thing before every home game. It is one of countless rituals I have to perform to make sure I am in the right frame of mind to play for Liverpool" - don't all rush out at once for Pepe Reina's new autobiography.
