I’m just having a debate on an American based message board about “the great” shirt number in “soccer”.
They contend that number 10 shirt is the one “given to the great playmakers”. I of course am saying that the number everyone wanted at school was the centre forward shirt, the number 9.
Am I right or am I living in my own little world?
(And we don’t need any references to Latics’ current number 9 or 10 – it’s the general principle we’re talking about)
Personal choice, but for me it had to be number 7.Keegan, Dalglish, Robson, Cantona, Beckham
Matthews – oh, showing my age now :(
But… Sir Andrew Liddell :)
Personal choice as well for me number 11 purely coz I normally wore it.Would the number 10 shirt be iconic because of Pele?
