The curse of Uri Geller
PSYCHIC Uri Geller was last night accused of putting a curse on sporting heroes ? when he wills them to WIN.
Sports fan John Atkinson made the charge after he studied the spoon-bender’s predictions and his “positive energy urges”.
John found Uri more often than not scuppered the chances of sportsmen and teams he was trying to help.
The 58-year-old fan said: “I think he is a bit of a conjurer. I don’t believe he really has these special powers.”
John researched 59-year-old Uri’s forecasts over the last 30 years.
The most recent came last month, when Uri called on listeners of a Welsh radio station to lay their hands on a newspaper picture to send winning energy to the nation’s rugby team.
Wales promptly LOST their Six Nations clash against England 47-13.
John claimed Uri also put the mockers on soccer side Falkirk, Scotland’s national footie team, Formula 1’s David Coulthard and tennis ace Tim Henman. And he blew England’s chances at Euro ’96.
Last night Uri THANKED John for his research. He said: “These sceptics are my unpaid publicists.”
ENGLAND v WALES IN February Uri told Welsh radio listeners to send winning energy to the nation’s rugby squad via a newspaper photo.
RESULT: England beat Wales 47-13.
LIGHT-WEIGHT BOXING PROOF Uri CAN sometimes get it right as he boosted boxer Peter McDonagh in January.
RESULT: McDonagh beat Michael Gomez for the Irish lightweight crown.
EURO '96 URI asked the nation to touch an orange spot on TV screens to help England win Euro ’96.
RESULT: Germany KO’d England after Gareth Southgate’s penalty miss.
