I give you:

1. Wembley.

2. Play-offs.

3. Televised matches.

4. The Abbey.

5. The Shay.

Anymore for anymore? I was tempted to add Grays but it hadn't gone long enough to be really called a curse. And six doesn't have the same ring...

Cant think of to many more, maybe he can lift the Rushden curse sometime soon, dont recall ever doing that well there, or when we finally go up if he could sort out the Cheltenham hoodoo that would be nice!!

You can add Kingfield to the list.

We hadn't won in Woking up until last season when we won twice (if you include the Youth team). Still can't break the Rec jinx though. Is it 6 or 7 we've lost in a row now at that soon-to-be-a-league-ground dump.

Lost 7 in a row at Aldershot if you include that Conference Cup a couple seasons ago.

Rushden we have lost to on all 4 of our visits to Nene Park, and although we haven't lost to them at home, 4 of the 5 games at SJP have been draws.

Against Cheltenham our record is even worse - Played 6 Lost 6 (3 home and 3 away)

One curse he didn't manage to lift was the curse of Gigg Lane, now 13 games in a row without a win there, which takes us back to 1931 in the FA Cup run. We did manage draws on 3 of those 13 occasions though.

I wouldn't exactly call The Shay a curse. OK, it's been a few years but it's hardly decades is it and in that time there have been seasons where we haven't actually been in the same division.

Well we did fail to win in 9 consecutive trips to The Shay, so its about as valid a curse as Aldershot

Pretty sure we won 4-3 at Burton once with Devine getting either 2 or 3 goals
