[mufc_daddy]

Hey shoks who is that player on ur avatar?

Have u got a link for that clip?

Cheers mate.


Famous numbers -

Shearer - 9
Linkeker - 10
Robson - 7

Well, 7 is also a very famous number, Figo/Beckham/Best/Ronaldo(well, technically he is famous)/others.

Sorry boys but the #7 BELONGS to GARRINCHA
#14 Belongs to CRUYFF
# 9 Belongs to RONALDO
# 10 To BOTH PELE AND MARADONA
# 3 PAOLO MALDINI

well he took the number 5 shirt because there weren't any other numbers available. figo had the 10, who wanted 7 but raul had it, and raul wouldn't give it up. but you're right about these "traditional numbers" eventually losing their significance as more and more players transfer to other teams.

and the traditional #9 is your prototypical out and out striker.

I have to agree.

Unless United sign "an out & out striker" and give him the number 9 jersey, i think Ruud should get no9 and the new playmaker (VDV for example) should get the number 10.

If we get Anelka then he should get 9.


Soccerage reckons United want Anelka, anyone got any other links regarding this (Shokz?) ?

Even if he were linked with United, I'd be against it.

Blimey that was quick.

I like him as a player but he's a selfish brat. Fergie would send on him on his bike after the first row.

that doesnt mean all number 10s are strikers...wasnt there a goalie wearing number 10 unless he is a goalkeeper/striker.... and someone from olympiakos wears the number 1 and is an outfield player.... its what the player believe.... i wouldnt ming playing as the number 10 in footie....

Yeah the "best" numbers are

3, 7, 9, 10, 11

3 and 11 appeal to some people as these are players who play on the left flank and most likely can dribble the ball quite well..

If History has told us anything, it is that the best Number is the Number25

CAPISH!

Basically before there were any names on the backs of players, the numbers were just corresponding with the positions on the pitch. In Holland 10 has always been the playmaker, central midfielder, behind the striker role. A bit like Van der Vaart is now.

But in recent times, those numbers mean ****. Players just get assigned or choose a squad number.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

You are all so stupid. #2 is for the best player Cause I play with that

 

[Punkt]

Benfica number 10 is Zlatko Zahovic because he is the playmaker not the best player. even Dean Saunders were number 10 at Benfica.

 

[whuahu]

joe cole has #10 at chelsea, and he hardly gets to start.
ive always wondered why because i think that #10 does actually signify the best player in a team.

 

[claupastore]

its true what PScott said. believe it or not

every position had a number. and then the second team started from 12. why else do you think that second goalkeepers have #12 on their back? and the reserve defenders usually go from 13 to 15 or 16 and so on....
the number 10 fever started after maradona and others like platini, pele's time was way before that.

 

[Sanel]

everyone please give me your opinions on this one... you are the striker on your team and you have to choose between #10 or #11, which one would you choose, and would you rather be a striker or a playmaker?

 

[bbranco10]

The most famous players usually wear number 10. but other numbers follow along too. Look at most teams and see their number 10 hes probably a great player.

 

[Gerrard 17]

My fav # to play with is 17 or 21

I'd choose 10 after those two.

 

[Pferd]

what are the numbers "supposed" to mean?

i know #1 is the goalie (of course) and #2 is the central back... but what are the others? I think #10 is the central mid... who would generally be the "playmaker" anyway...
