I chose 4 and with it Bruce Rioch.Wasn’t Rioch 8?You made me doubt myself for a minute so I've just checked my "A Complete Record..." and in the season (72/73) when I would have got the shirt for my birthday he only ever wore the number 4.

David Platt but the one I truly idolised even more once he'd signed was Dean Saunders. We've had strikers with superior goalscoring records but I really loved the guy.
