Shirt numbers released for next season

[Shrimper]

Hmm okay. Sign him up anyway.

Interesting to see Richie Foran get a number. Two little ducks 22 should be now changed to Two little swans 22 to remind him of dearly departed!

If you read the article it tells you that he is a supporter who won the chance to have a squad number in an auction.

can he play on the left?

 

[Fiftyone]

Find it hard to understand why O'Keefe has been given a number whilst the 4 development squad players, Forshaw,Henry,Lindie and Thurlbourne, have not.
Anyone know the answer?.:unsure:

James Lindie told me at the MTBD on Sunday that he had been allocated a squad number and was wering it. Either 35 or 39 I think it was.

 

[loz]

someone with a husky voice called, claiming to be from Southend, and offered me the 69. I'm reporting them to the PFA. :stunned:

 

[DTS]

Wonder if plan is to send development players out on loan hence they wont need squad numbers....

 

[Beefy]

Shame to see Scannell not get 7, although hopefully we shall get a 3 and 7 before the start of the season, and that Grant is not 7, as then that will be at least 3 more players!

If Grant signs he'll wear number 7.

13 is unlucky for some players, so that number might not get filled at all.

Quite a few clubs do not even have a number 13 shirt as it is percieved unlucky as you have pointed out Naps.

Grant signing number 7? The number shirt 7 not filled? Should I put 1 and 1 together and get 3? Its promising. Would be another fantastic young sign to an already good bunch of young lads we have these days.

As for the number 3 I am not sure who Tilly would of given it to anyway in the team and guess it is not filled as he hoping to fill it withing the next few weeks. I just hope you has something up them sleeves

How are you so sure about that Beefy? If so why wasn't he wearing it Sunday?

I'm pretty sure that he's said that he's asked for it, but to be honest I can't remember where I read that.

I guess we'll see, just wish they'd get on with the signing now though.

Having your "I'm Anthony Grant's best mate" recurring dream again? :)

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Anthony Grant was signing authographs on Sunday with 7 under it.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Steady on - good though Fred was, it's not like he gave us a decade of unstinting service! Shirt "retiring" should only happen in the most exceptional circumstances - e.g. Michael Jordan @ the Chicago Bulls. I for one wouldn't want to retire it; instead, I'd want some young starlet to endeavour to fill it!

V. interesting re Grant signing himself as no. 7...

West Ham have announced that they'll be retiring their number six, Bobby Moore's old number. If you are going to do it, it has to be for someone of that standing - I believe Milan also did it with Baresi and Napoli with Maradona.

Incidentally, I'm not that keen on it for football anyway. In American sports they use numbers all the way from 00 to 99 - I much prefer it when football sticks closer to the old one to eleven system.

AC Milan will retire the number 3 shirt when Paolo Maldini retires, but they could let one of his sons have it.

On the subject of numbers, AC Milan have given Ronaldinho number 80

maybe tilly should take number 7 it didnt look to bad against SZFC. :)

Thought he had 11 on?

 

[WestRoadShrimper]

* Herd gets no. 18 which is a reasonably low no. which suggests he has a role to play this year

Or simply it's the number that Hammill had.
