Everyone wanting number 5?I recently had to pick numbers for players for our new under 10s kits... the egos exist there too... not the players, but the dads
Raphael is under 21 as wellWell we would have to shed one then, as there are 26 players listed and only Howley is under 21. So we already have a squad of 25.
12 possibly wont get used out of respect for Kieran Slater, forever 1212 available
Good job I never made the joke about a dozen then!12 possibly wont get used out of respect for Kieran Slater, forever 12
Raphael is under 21 as well
Having seen Sam in pre-season training I feel he could lose a few pounds. I'm not the onye one who thinks so either
I have always loved squad numbers. They provide a neat way to list and admire the squad's evolution across the seasons. I don't mind the odd player with an unusual number (Hamer in 38; Palmer in 45) but hope fervently it doesn't become the norm.
I wish Binks was in 5 or 6.
Rudoni should be in 16, 18, 19 or 20, given that Allen has bagsied 8. A Zidane-Real Madrid thing?
Time for Eccles to come in from his original breakthrough 28.
What's up with Torp in 29? Another fetish number?
I also hope the likes of Howley (36), Obikwu (49) or Dausch (59!!) don't end up with those numbers for as long as they're at the club, but fear the worst...
For what it's worth Preston have done a brilliant job this season rearranging their squad numbers. An example to us all.
Unhinged but equally I completely agree with everything he said!Haha i love this post, it’s unhinged!

Shouldn’t be allowed to start a season with 1-11 not filled up imo.
