No doubt someone will read more into it and suggest something stupid like certain numbers being saved for new signings.
Looking at that the squad doesn't look too bad............................on paper. question is if we sign 4 more who falls out of the squad? Brown? Oh hang on theres loads of numbers left
I think some do care about such things - being part of the "First Eleven" has some kind of kudos surely. Then again, I wonder if Ashley Ward or Martin Devaney cared about wearing the number 25 shirt? Probably not....
They probably all get a say, to an extent, on which number they want. So Ward and Devaney were probably after 25 in the first place.
Considering the amount of money we allegedly paid, and how long we've been trying to get him signed, it's fair to say we've got high hopes for him.
Disco moved to number 11 didn't he? I reckon it's personal preference for the player outside of the 'first 11'
Think Yiadom likes 17 (wouldnt look too much into that) same as Mowatt likes 27. 12 seems to be a dud number for some reason. Last player i remember who wore regulare no12 was Andy Liddell!
Surely you've not forgotten the greatest number 12 Barnsley has ever had....... ........... ISIAH RANKIN
