They say it's a symbol of good luck - and after being pooed on by a bird during Swansea's win over Barnsley, Steve Cooper will certainly take that view.
The Swans struck first blood at Oakwell to take a slender 1-0 advantage with them to the Liberty Stadium, but it was a pigeon who struck in the first half - all over Cooper's jacket to the bemusement of the Welshman.
Cooper looked down to see white excrement down the right hand side of his coat, but decided to laugh off the awkward incident as he urged his team on.
