Donny Ram Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 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? I can't find anything on this one but I would agree that international goalkeepers wore non-green shirts way before club keepers adopted all the colours under the rainbow. A few outfield players have however worn number 1 rather than the sides goalkeeper rather strangely. (This has nothing to do with keepers who sometimes like to think they are outfield players;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Ram Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Glad I'm right. 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. Yes, McFarland 5 and Todd 6. Legendary centre-back pairing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Ram Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 ah fair enough, i know they never used to, not been cub shop since the away shirt came out You might have to leave it with them for 20 or 30 minutes to do the printing though.

Donny Ram Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 thats not to bad, when i got my england shirt done, i nhad to wait 2hours! That's a shame if you were buying the shirt before the match, missed the match as well then eh;) They took about 20 minutes to do both my daughter and sons shirts but it pays to get there a bit early (over an hour before kick off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Squad numbers in football as a whole were introduced during a world cup, but I can't remember which, think it was 78! In fact Holland at this years world cup were the 1st to have a starting line-up, since the introduction of squad numbers, to have their starting line-up to consist of 1-11, sorry boring fact for you!!

Kris Marina Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Squad numbers were only introduced about 20 or so years ago. Shirt numbers, i.e 1-11, was probably after the war. Forst use of the 1-11 system was in the late 1920's I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorchedturf Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I think I read somewhere that Lev Yashin the Russian goalie always wore black shirts, I know that goalies aren't supposed to wear short sleeves so referees can identify who touches the ball in a crowd of players.

sage Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Pretty sure you're right. 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. Bloomer is 9 because he was a POW in Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy from Brazil Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 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. Kev Hector was King all right, and so was Charlie George king of all Cockneys....They were the days hey Donnyram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
