Nagy squad number


'Orns

Recommended Posts

Can I just take a moment to thank our Hungarian defensive midfield hero for taking squad number 4 

No longer do I have to put up with a centre half wearing it. He is my new hero

Mods - please lock. No need to continue the conversation, but let people leave thumbs up and that stuff, because everyone knows I'm right on this

Old school, like it. 4 and 8 CM, 7, 11 wingers.

Only ever one no 4 for us in my eyes and if he's half as good as him we'll have a hell of a player.

Sir Gerry.

Thanks SJ - I was thinking the same but suddenly my mind went blank on Gow's shirt number, so wasn't 100% sure.

All be it different times, but I don't think anyone has come close to GG in all the year's since.

I can still picture that bouncing run on the ball of his feet!

He'll obviously start tomorrow at centre half. 

**** me, Chris. I hadn't even considered this ?

Gary Shelton and Andy May ??

Shelton ? *wipes a tear from eye. I seem to remember him wearing 6 more often than not though? Which is also perfectly acceptable. Unless the centre half is wearing 4, then it should still be illegal

Can only remember him wearing 4 tbf and David Rennie was 8 along side him 

Pretty sure Rennie wore 6 a lot too? Maybe we had two x 6s out there? Maybe it was the Blackthorn. Who knows?

My all time fav. He just got on with it, no messing.

Hope you're not watching Liverpool.

Van Dijk wearing 4 with Wijnaldum and Fabinho wearing 5 and 3 in midfield.

As someone with OCD I can only endorse this thread, there is a perfect symmetry not just in a defensive central midfielder wearing 4, but also having his surname and number not just short and snappy but also perfectly aligned between letters and numbers. Orr 2 used to do my head in.

Add in the fact that he is easily the most exciting signing of the window and add in his interview where he sounds like he will adopt Bristol's history, run about endlessly like a man possessed, and probably get City tattooed on his forehead, and he's not your average international signing.

The fact he spent a year living in the back of beyond in Portugal and his long since redundant Twitter account has him and his mates on a day out where I grew up, has nothing to do with my endorsement.

Stop going on about your damn OCD. First the badge and now this.

I've got an ASD but I don't keep bringing the ****** up all the time.

Didn't Biff wear 8? Jeez, too long ago man.

1. Sinclair 2. Llewellyn 3. Bailey 4. Shelton 5. Humphries 6. Rennie 7. Gavin 8. Newman 9. Taylor 10. Smith 11. Turner.

Woof!

I think you have that bang on ??

Thought Smith was 10 but couldn’t remember turner being 11

And that means Biff was playing CB at no 8....

He's been given Pack's old 21. Shown pulling on a shirt with that number in one of the announcement videos.

There hasn't been an Afobe announcement video has there?

Yeh...I was just trying to find it on the twitter feed. I SWEAR I watched one earlier today, probably about midday UK time. I SWEAR he pulled on a number 21 shirt...but now I can't see that tweet? Maybe they took it down.

He was up on the roof and it definitely showed him pulling on an "Afobe 21" shirt.

Edit: Ok. I think it was a different edit of this one. Maybe I've gone mad or was dreaming but I'd swear to god I saw a version that showed the back of the shirt and it had "Afobe 21".  Don't go getting that printed up just yet maybe...I'm not as generous as the club are when it comes to refunds.

Thank you. 

So either a) they pulled it because they thought to maybe wait before just chucking Pack's still warm shirt onto a brand new loanee's back, b) Afobe decided that actually he would rather have 20, 24, 26, 29, or one of the other numbers available, or c) someone's heading off on loan and their number has been freed up.*

*I'm not sure if this is actually how numbers work when people get loaned out.

21 is going to look funny on anyone but Packy now

This whole thread brings up a good talking point. If you had to pick a squad number what would it be, and why (other than for old skool positional reasons)?

I'd go for 39. Mine and my wife's birthdays added together = 39. My 3 daughters birthdays added together = 39. Letters in the 3 girls full names added together (surname not included) = 39. Age when daughter #3 was born, yep, you've guessed it.....39

Then the boy came along and ****** it all up. The kids birthdays now add up to 70, and I hate it ?

And I never played DM, so I wouldn't feel.bad about it either!

Did wonder whether he might not be for form this weekend and he was waiting for Taylor, Watkins, Adelekan etc to get a L1 loan sorted

If it's a season long loan then I don't see a problem with him slipping on #10 if Taylor moves, for example. 6 month loan and MT is back in January, that could be tricky

I won 7 'caps' for my junior school team playing at Right Back, so the number 2 shirt would be mine.

I was dogsh!te to be honest. Stealing a wage.

Jeez, I went through all that and you go for 8 because 'it looks good' ?

It does though, completely agree

I'm a simple man Woodsy. Also, in my dreams I'm a devastating box-to-box midfielder who slips balls through defences for fun, slaps in 15 25 yd screamers a season and runs back for at least ten world class sliding tackles a game. So 8 fits.

All left footed as well, I bet?

You're in my starting line up any time ?

My two positions were Goalkeeper and Target Man.

I'd pick #5 or #15.

My first appearance as a kid up-front was as #2. Also wore #8 later on.

#5 or #15 if I could pick anything though.

Preferably #5.

Very similar to me.

5 = CH, so anything with a 5 in it.

Back in the 70s when I played in the Bridgwater sunday league I nearly always wore number 7 as I was a nippy right winger,these days when I mention nippy it usually means its cold!I also used to wear number 12 a lot which was good because I could have a cigarette or two during the game
