Players Numbers

I don't suppose you could help me please?

I need to know the playing numbers for:

Raich Carter
Gary Brabin
Gareth Roberts
Gary Parker
Brian Horton
Keith Edwards
Ian Butler
Jock Davidson
Warren Joyce
Ken Houghton
Ray Henderson
Richard Jobson
Theo Whitmore
Stuart Pearson
Viggo Jensen
Stuart Elliott
Pete Skipper
Justin Whittle
Mally Lord

I think I know some of them but not too sure between the 8's and 4's, 5's and 6's, 7's and 11's and some I haven't got a clue

Thanks in advance if you can help me

 

For a start, Elliott was no.7.

Ian butler no 11

 

Ken Houghton 10

 

Carter played mainly in the 8 shirt but at other times played with the 10.
Jensen played 2/3/10. He could play anywhere.
Jock I believe played in the 2 shirt.

 

Houghton 10
Butler 11
Davidson 2
Henderson 7

Reasonably confident about these.

 

I remember Whitmore wearing 23 but I think that was late on in his career and he'd previously had a lower number.

Whittle was 15.

 

Surely Houghton was 8 with Waggy 10!!!

 

Many photographs of waggy in his playing days all appear wearing the no 8 although I seem to remember he played the odd game in the no 10 towards the end of his career. Houghton was no 10.

 

See if ya can get a few of this ... Waggy was number 8 & 10 Houghton number 10 Have fun.


Part 1

Part 2

 

It looks like they both played in the 8 and 10 shirts!!

 

There always seems to be debate about which these two wore. Think it was a bit of both.

 

It is a difficult one Gary Brabin had 8, 11 & 22.

Jobson 4
Skipper 5
Pearson 9
Garreth Roberts 11
Horton 8, 6 or 4 (Think he used all three)
Garry Parker 8, 6 or 4 (as above)
Mally Lord 8

 

You're not going to get one answer for most players from back in the day. Especially forwards. Obviously numbers were assigned to positions and not players.

 

Just as long as I get a number that they played in

 

1 Goalkeeper
2 Right Back
3 Left Back
4 Right Half
5 Centre Half
6 Left Half
7 Right Wing
8 Inside Right
9 Centre Forward
10 Inside Left
11 Left Wing
...................
12 Substitute

 

Horton was mostly 4 & Parker mostly 8.

 

I thought it was waggy 8, wouldn't put money on it though. I seem to remember at that time most sides used traditional numbers, ie right wing 7, inside right 8, c.fwd 9, inside left 10, left wing 11.

 

See the video's from earlier in the thread Waggy was 8 & 10. Good to watch the vids for a bit of nostalgia anyway. I never realised how many times they changed numbers in them days but I was only was nipper then.
