Works on the Kenny Dalglish, Kevin Keegan and Terry Cochrane principle
(I assume Wilf Mannion was also number7 too?)

Steve Heighway at number 9 was always an odd one.

Back in the 80’s we used to use the 1-11 numbers a bit weirdly. Parky often wore 5 and in his early career Mogga wore 7.
Slaven wearing 7 also meant that 9 was often worn by someone who was not an out and out striker.
We’ve had some shockers in the squad number era though, Ince 9, Mikel 2, Woodgate 8, Bailey 10 are some bad examples.

When Mannion started playing for us, we didnt have numbers on the back of the shirts, that only started for us after the war.Works on the Kenny Dalglish, Kevin Keegan and Terry Cochrane principle
In the immediate post war years Wilf Mannion played pretty much equal number of games in either the number 8 or 10 shirt

Brighton have a player wearing No99 on their subs’ bench tonight. We’re about to see what happens when someone needs to use the No100. Surely it’ll be Liverpool or Manchester City in the next round of the cup. Possibly Arsènal.
Will the No100 be allowed though? That’s the question. Would three numbers even fit on the shirt?

I might be wrong but I don't think that means 1-98 are all taken.

It doesn’t confirm it but some Premier League clubs do have around one hundred players on the books, across the levels. You see that when those sides play in the Football League trophy, they have benches stacked with players wearing numbers in the 80s and 90s. This is on top of your 25-man senior squad, your U23s and U18s. And players out on loan. I think even Boro get into the 50s and 60s when the FLT games start up.
I just counted Liverpool’s squad on their website and including players out on loan it was 89. They’ve moved about a dozen on as well this summer. And they’re still in the market for more signings apparently as they don’t have enough midfielders.

Squad number 100 you say? I think this lad might just be your new favourite player Viv. Attacking midfielder, also wore the number 1 jersey for good measure too

I still feel the above should be brought in - and as @uncle_rico says they do it in Spain

Loved it when Dyche did that last season. A good bit of self-trolling for Burnley’s agricultural reputation.
