the squad numbers are generally announced before the home kit is out, so the only people who do that sort of thing are total spastics.
but not as much as the people who moan about what numbers players have on their shirts.
Not too bad with one year shirts...
I remember a few years back Man Utd did it, Ferdinand signed got the number 6 shirt and loads of people got his name and number, then end of the season Blanc left and Ferdinand moved to 5....WHY? what does it matter, why bother to change it
