Just been reading about the second one, Dylan Tombides (Bobby Moore being the first one, obviously). Died of cancer at 20. Tragic. 

They’ve retired the no.6? Ridiculous

Retiring the number seems daft. 

Quite happy with young English prospects getting top level game time abroad 'out of the spotlight' of the gutter press over here is fine by me. 

Let em develop then get em in the England squad when they are ready rather than 2 years too early to get hounded into oblivion. 

It coming home next year. Despite Sancho getting caught having a spit roast with a slaaag 2 weeks before the euros kicks off.

Will it just him and the slag having the spit roast? If so that's mighty impressive.

Him, the slag and some up and coming wonder kid that got sold by Birmingham and has his shirt retired... 

Who will be the fall guy for the world Cup in Qatar.

You being serious? West Ham hardly have a queue of long servants and world cup winning captains that died young.

I recall City retired the number 23 for Marc Vivien Foe, that's ridiculous. FFS he only went there on loan for one season.

Yeah but it’s the number 6 not 23 who gives a fuck about 23

I don’t believe in retiring numbers unless they’re an exceptional player and it’s not a common number

But that’s rarely gonna happen.

i have OCD issues with shirt numbers. 

Gallas CB No.10

Bendtner 52

Fuck off

Glad there's somebody else who's got this problem. 

I've been use to the old 1-11 system for so long, squad numbers just wind me up. 

Back in ye olde days it was:

                                   1

3                   5                               4             2

 

11                   7                            8             6

 

                               9

 

                                    10

Actually does anybody know why we just didn't go 1-11 left to right rather than this ferkakte numbering system?

I always thought it was 

       1

2  5  6  3

7  4  8  11

  9  10

 

With 5 & 6 being centre-back, 2 and 3 being full-back, and 7 and 11 being the wingers....

I'd have said.......

                                           1

2                     5                               6                         3

7                    4                                10                        11

                         8                               9

Sweep’s mention of the 1-11 is my favourite. 4 and 8 in midfield. 
 

Silly this retiring numbers lark, logic will eventually mean the numbers will have to be brought out of retirement. Unless they go for 3 digit shirt numbers.
