I used to like it when some rugby teams used to use letters rather than numbers.
Oh I love the unusual numbers thing. Also I far prefer the Brazilian style naming on the back of shirts.

Wasn't there some player (Uruguayan I think) at Inter who got in a strop when they wouldn't take no.10 off the incumbent and give it to him? I recall they compromised by giving him 19 and taping in a + between the 1 and 9.

It just never seemed right to me though. Against the law of England and all that.
On thread.When he, and others arrive, someone will have 19 won't they?Or will we always keep it for Stan?(not 5 - Okore's 5...proper centre half number)

You're paid millions of pounds to play football, you can shag pretty much anyone you want but it's not enough is it.
