    Hmmmm interesting. My theory is it could be some excellent man management. He wears a number like everyone else thus appearing to be equal with them. Sort of like if it is good enough for me it is good enough for them. Good way to build rapport and a strong team spirit/ethic perhaps!

    I personally just think its his date of birth, but wrote the other way (Middle-Endian Month/Day/Year)

    1st March would be March 1st or 3/1 = 31

    He cant have 13 as that is the sub keeper and always has been, even without squad numbers, when it was just 1-14 on a match day, so he had to go 31.

    This has been asked a few times and to date I have not seen a sensible answer but he has always had it, way back to his Wycombe days.
