You sound more like me than I do.
You sound more like me than I do.The numbers mean nothing nowadays. Beckham was 23 at R.Madrid - didn't mean he was nowhere near their starting 11. A lot of numbers nowadays are superstition based or personal preference.
Called me old fashioned but I miss the old days when you knew who was playing where, based on their number, 1-11:
1 GK
2 RB
3 LB
4 CM
5 CB
6 CB
7 RM
8 CM
9 ST
10 ST
11 LM
The good old days.
And on the subject of the good old days, if I were ever head of FIFA (god forbid), I'd ban coloured football boots. No white, no pink (which seems to be popular at this Euros), no blue, no red - only black.
Hopefully! What will you have a breakdown about then?
Konjic was no. 9 when he first rocked up.John Hartson wore #5 for Coventry
Same with Dublin, he was good at trying to pretend he was a strikerKonjic was no. 9 when he first rocked up.
Quite an apparition that
Nothing will ever be as bad as Nathan Clarke wearing the 7 shirt as a centre half in the league one relegation season
3 trickled out on twitterWhere have the squad numbers appeared?
Paired with Turner he was fine I thought!It was almost like the perfect complement to his performance level
They did it in 82 as well except for Maradona who still got the 10 even though he should have had 16 or something like thatRegarding numbers. In 1978 at the World Cup, the Argentina squad were numbered from alphabetically. Hence there was a number 1 playing outfield.
The egos of some players regarding their squad number just seems a bit ridiculous at times.
That, for me, was almost as bad as relegation.Nothing will ever be as bad as Nathan Clarke wearing the 7 shirt as a centre half in the league one relegation season
The worst home kit we'll ever have as well, an almost perfect combination of absolute shitNothing will ever be as bad as Nathan Clarke wearing the 7 shirt as a centre half in the league one relegation season
Dovin is an international keeper he will be number 1
Yet to be seen if he signs, if he does yes absolutelyBut will it be with us?

What a squad that was!!Italy used to do it largely by order of position with only the goalkeepers and Baggio not following it exactly in 94
Wasn't it Clinton Morrison when he played for us? Eastwood had 10, Morriston had 1+9Then you had the ones where the number they wanted was taken, so they had the numbers that added up to it. Zamorano at Inter literally had 1+8 on his shirt as ronaldo (I think) had the 9, when for Chile he was the 9.
There is another one I thought of but it’s just slipped from my memory as I was typing.
Yeah I thought he may have, but there was another player who did it I’m sure.Wasn't it Clinton Morrison when he played for us? Eastwood had 10, Morriston had 1+9
Ivan Zamorano had 1+8 for Inter in the 90'sYeah I thought he may have, but there was another player who did it I’m sure.
