Bristol Ram Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks man how did you know that as I've tried looking on the Internet all evening and couldn't find them. Which do you think I should go for? They didn't have squad numbers when they played, so the shirt number generally reflected what position you played. And always Hector for me!

And always Hector for me! I agree, there was only one King and it wasn't Elvis. Any guy who scores an overhead kick at 59 gets my respect. I wasn't around to see Bloomer play so I can't comment. Charlie George must feature as one of the greats of all time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Ram Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I don't think they had sqaud numbers till after the war? Squad numbers were only introduced about 20 or so years ago. Shirt numbers, i.e 1-11, was probably after the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squad numbers were introduced in the 1999 - 2000 season but as for the 1-11 numbering I would tend to agree it was probably in the 40s The first time numbers were used in Association football was August 25, 1928, when Sheffield Wednesday played Arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki In 1993, the The Football Association switched to persistent squad numbers, abandoning the mandatory use of 1–11 for the starting line-up. The first league event to feature this was the 1993 Football League Cup Final between Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday,[citation needed] and it became standard in the FA Premier League the following season, along with names printed above the numbers. Most European top leagues adopted the system over the next five years. The English Football League introduced squad numbers in 1999, and the Football Conference follow suit three years later.

Perky1106 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'm only 20 but all I know is I often saw Hector in a number 10 shirt in YouTube videos. I also saw some guy at Pride Park with a "HECTOR 10" shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Ram Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Pub quiz superstar eh...! And now for the next one... In which year were goalkeepers first allowed to not have a green shirt? Not a clue on that one... I assume you're talking about club football, as international goalkeepers wore yellow for a long time before green shirts became optional in club football. Pure guess, probably way off... 1990? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore Bloomer, no number. I guess people think of 9 because he scored so many goals, but he actually played inside-forward which, in modern day terms, is probably the sort of position that Commons and Bueno play. Ish.

Would it also be true that McFarland wore the number 5 shirt? I'm thinking of getting my shirt done on Saturday but just getting my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
