I don't this at all. Why do players ask for certain numbers? It doesn't make them play any better. Nicklas Bendtner is a prime example of this.
Like Williams and Beresford 10 years ago, though think Cameron and Robbie are slightly more classy! was that the last time we had both wingers with those squad numbers?
I didn't know Fryatt liked 12 on FM, I just heard it from someone on here in the distant past. They might have got it from FM I suppose.
Superstition or the number means something to them. Alot of the time it's the number they wore when they were growing up, coming through the ranks. It's not a big deal but it's always nice to have a touch of sentiment, isnt it?!?
I've just heard from my mate in the shop, that Rosenior is 2 and Koren is 10, and apparently Basso is 1 and Gulacsi 24.
Is this our mutual friend? I would have thought that Koren would have got the 8 shirt with Simpson getting 10 but oh well. I'm not surprised about Rosenior either.
I think Beckham likes number 7 he named his latest child after his shirt number.. I like numberwang...
Harper Seven is possibly the worst name I have ever heard. And my names not exactly brilliant. I can't even spell one of my middle names.
That's all I got, and even that isn't definite. Last year he told me what he thought the numbers were, but NP kept chopping and changing all the way up to the night before the Swansea game so they were wrong.
I've got a couple of autographs from Chesterfield. Chester signed his with a 5, Gulacsi put 24 and Harper signed 16. I've also got one who's signed 25. But my dad who got the autograph for me didn't actually know who the player was, we think it was Danny East.
