Ben Godfrey insists on being the fourth Everton player on the pitch as one of ‘thousands and thousands’ of pre-match routines he undertakes. The Blues defender also leaves a water bottle in a specific place as he prepares for a match. Godfrey revealed some of his pre-game preparations in a joint-interview with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tom Davies, who were being quizzed by former Everton midfielder Leon Osman.
Ben Godfrey said: “Yeah, I have my routines before the game and that. It’s like little ones, like I have to be fourth out on game day and stuff, I go out before a game and leave a bottle somewhere. Just honestly, there’s thousands, there’s thousands.”
Leon Osman then asked: “And if all of them aren’t done?”
But before Godfrey could reply, Tom Davies jumped in with: “He still plays well.”
