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...

Caupastore already answered, but here's a more detailed reply:

It all started in the 1930s when Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman decided to print numbers on the back of the shirts, so that when a player saw which teammates he had around (=which numbers he saw), he could adjust his own position accordingly.

Originally the numbers were assigned to each position in the 2-3-5 formation, thus it looked like this:

1.Goalkeeper
2.Right-back
3.Left-back
4.Right-half
5.Centre-half
6.Left-half
7.Outside right
8.Inside right
9.Centreforward
10.Inside left
11.Outside left

Later, new formations became popular (such as 4-2-4, 4-3-3 and so on). For example, if you switched from a formation with 3 defenders to one with 4, you would move one of the wing-halves (number 4 or 6) to the defence, which explains why one of the centre-backs in today's 4-4-2 formation often has number 6.

The number/position relationship may differ slightly from one country to another, but if we didn't have fixed squad numbers, most English teams would probably assign the numbers as following (in a 4-4-2 formation):

1.Goalkeeper
2.Right-back
3.Left-back
4.Central midfielder
5.Centre-back
6.Centre-back
7.Right midfielder
8.Central midfielder
9.Forward
10.Forward
11.Left midfielder

...whereas an Italian team would look like this:

1.Goalkeeper
2.Right-back
3.Left-back
4.Defensive midfielder
5.Centre-back
6.Sweeper
7.Right midfielder
8.Central midfielder
9.Forward
10.Playmaker
11.Forward

From all the feed back I've been getting, this originally started with numbers being assigned to certain positons. So do you uys think this is how it should be now? Should we go back to only assinging numbers to positions, as apposed to players?
